The Ministry of Public Health might not have subscribed yet to social media networks but operates a functional website through which important information of the Ministry is relayed to the public.
The Ministry’s website www.minsante.cm serves as a medium where press releases, communiqués relating to the different activities of the ministry are published. According to the head of the Communication unit in the Ministry of Public Health, Roger Manoun, the ministry also communicates through the social media by using the Ministry’s of Communication’s focal point person who is in charge of government communication on the social media in addition to personal facebook accounts.
The Ministry’s Information and Communication unit, he said, is currently reflecting on how to open social media accounts that will not be easily hacked. For now, the website remains the portal through which ministerial decisions, circulars, announcements are communicated to both internal and external publics of the ministry.
