Salamatak Awareness Campaign

The GCC Health Council is keen to promote and improve the health sector in the Member States through constructive initiatives, which included a radio program produced in 1980 entitled “Salamatak” where it was screening on many Gulf and Arab televisions.

Salamatak is an awareness program with an authentic Arab spirit that provides health advice and guidance in line with the standards of international health awareness organizations. It aims to increase awareness and understanding of mental and social diseases and ways to prevent them, reduce the prevalence of deaths from endemic and potential diseases, raise awareness on the health risks of diseases, and raise awareness on preventive measures to protect the health of the individual and the family.

Today, Salamatak returns with a more well-developed strategy to keep up with the current time and with a high level of competitiveness, taking into consideration that a broad cross-section of society is nowadays health-literate. Therefore, the Council is keen to have the program in a strong and influential style, including a dramatic plot, musical scene, explanatory materials, among others, to draw the viewer’s attention.
