Public health issues have become a major measurement of social-economic development especially on the African continent and other developing countries.  The concerns about Public health, Sanitation, water shelter and the environment are critical to the development of national development objectives and the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

The formation of a Non-governmental Organization INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF MEDIA IN PUBLIC HEALTH is in recognition of the very important roles that the media have to play in ensuring that public health issues are treated as developmental issues.
