Vodafone Ghana’s award winning TV show, Healthline returns to the screens last weekend with the touching story of Nadia, the victim of a horrific road traffic accident who needed help to pay her medical bills and get a prosthetic leg. Healthline is a TV show developed and produced by Vodafone in response to the need for credible and reliable health information to the Ghanaian people. The show asks people to text in questions about their health concerns and this information is used to build the content of the show with a panel of doctors answering these concerns. The first season was an unprecedented success and prompted the team at Vodafone to work hard to make the second season bigger and better. The forty-five minute programme now includes two new segments, the ‘kids’ corner’ and the ‘treatment room’ in addition to the regular ‘staying healthy’ and ‘sex talk’ segments. The introduction of ‘Kids’ corner’ was in response the need to discuss health issues that affect children and how best it can be prevented. The ‘treatment room’ focuses on bringing to life the answers to some questions posed to the panel of doctors and gives practical demonstrations of simple health tips. The doctors will address many health issues and topics such as Hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, cancer, heart and cardiac conditions, body pain, sex and reproductive health, sickle cell and infectious diseases.
