Abstract
Social media use in health remains an issue with small evidence
support. Conventional media promotions are used broadly in public health for a
large variety of objectives and have shown positive outcomes in terms of public
awareness. Social media networking’s’ are becoming powerful addition to the
health issues. There is a huge interest in using social media as a tool for public
health matters. The aim of this paper is to create a social network that will be
used by young mothers not only to exchange experiences through different
social services but also to get necessary information about disease predictions
and preventions, immunization tracking and other matters. The social network
would exist as the first point where mothers could gather health oriented
information in their mother tongue. This social network would be especially
designed for mothers that live in rural areas and cannot get instant medical help,
information and advice.
