Incidentally, among the available means of advertisement, jingles, drumming and radio jingles are the most common in the rural areas especially on malaria and other diseases. However, because of the belief in traditional and local herbs and adamant nature of the majority of rural dwellers to accept changes, less attention is put to advertisement even with availability of radio.
