The three best productions from the Aswatona media training held on January 5 and 10, 2010 in Nablus, in coordination with the Flagship Project and the MOH,  include:

 

 

Al-Fajr al-Jadeed, Tulkarem. This 42 second health spot on the hazards off smoking features the clever idea of money being burned with the accompanying messages:

 
Don’t be shocked at this image…..Smoking burns your health and money.

For you, and for the sake of your children’s future…Your life is valuable, don’t burn it!

 

  

 

 

Nablus TV: This 4:20 minute report on breast cancer, by Manar al-Madani, highlighted the importance of women administering self breast-exams, with clinical follow-up visits. The reporter asked several women on the street whether they administered the self-exam they replied: 

 
""I heard about it but I did not do it"
"yes"
"I am afraid to do it"
"I did it and the cancer was discovered in an early stage, I am being treated now"

 

A doctor was then interviewed and strongly recommended that women have a mammogram and a medical secretary commented that the number of women requesting mammograms is increasing.  A specialist stated that early detection is key to a patient’s survival. 

 

 

Tariq Al Mahaba Radio, Nablus: This 3:08 minute report by Lina Hajjaj started with a heavy smoker arguing that even though smoking harms the health and pocket book, it can bring relief from daily pressures. He is in his forties and is suffering from heart problems but continues to smoke. Another smoker was interviewed, this time suffering from diabetes, who described the cigarette as a "close friend". The reporter interviewed his wife who said: "He refuses to quit smoking. He is a bad example for our children.” His son replied, "We ask him to smoke on the balcony, but he does not listen." The reporter then highlights that smoking is on the increase in Palestine and interviewed a few smokers in the street. Their responses were: 

 

"I suffer from blocked arteries.”
"I suffer from lung problems - I tried to quit several times.”

 

The reporter ended by saying that smoking is your worst friend and only leads to sickness and a slow death.
