Health Reporting Resources and Tools
Images from the Lung Health Image Library should be useful to journalists, public health planners, international and community-based NGO staff, and others. To help you to effectively use images in your work, we have created this page of links and resources intended to:
- Assist journalists in covering health issues
- Assist program planners in designing communication or social mobilization campaigns
- Assist advocates in creating campaigns
These resources have been developed by organizations who share our mission of communicating the urgency of global health concerns to policy-makers, the general public, and affected communities. Some might help you to effectively use an image, while others might help you to design a strong overall program.
If you have suggestions for additions, please write to us at: foundation@worldlungfoundation.org
