OUR MEDIA PLATFORM – Medical Mirror
Medical Mirror is the foremost official medical journalism and health communication platform in the country, published by the IMJC team. The media platform focuses on accurately covering matters of the medical and allied health sectors, placing emphasis on its mantra – uncovering the ills, celebrating the achievements.
Just as the name connotes, the platform is to reveal, reflect and redefine the true image of the happenings in the medical and health space without bias, prejudice, fears or favour. It achieves this through medical and health-related investigative, advocacy and solution journalism, reporting ground-breaking medical news, events and innovations, publishing editorials, interviews, features, case reports, expert commentaries and professional opinions. The platform also provides opportunities for upcoming medical writers to showcase their work, in our bid to raise vibrant medical writers and journalists.
Why We Are Here – The Need
The health sector is a vital asset of any society; unfortunately, the Nigerian health sector faces enormous challenges, strains and constraints which are products of the underfunding, corruption and negligence that has besieged the sector over the years.
In spite of these enormous challenges, vis-a-vis the powerful role the media can play in creating awareness and influencing actions, the health sector disproportionately has a lower coverage in the mainstream media compared to the severity of its predicaments. This is due to the dynamics, complexities and the peculiarities of the sector which makes it difficult for those who do not understand the technicalities of the medical profession and health sector to tell the medical stories accurately.
If the stories – about achievements, opportunities and challenges – are not told, they cannot be heard. And if these stories are not heard, the important link needed to attract the attention of both the citizens and government for necessary action is missing.
