Health promotion talks are a vital platform that offers greater outreach to a wider audience. The use of online and virtual platforms provided an opportunity to promote public health programmes. This was effectively used to conduct the first of a series of webinar programmes in January 2021. The topic of the inaugural webinar was on Covid vaccination; and it took place at a crucial time when vaccines were being rolled out all across the globe. With a host of international experts on infectious disease and public health, the webinar was delivered over the two days in two different languages with approximately 500 participants on each day. In the post-pandemic era, the committee has adapted to new modes of virtual communication and meetings and have taken up this avenue to **TAR** March **2012** 4 deliver on public health matters. Webinars have been piloted, delivered in both Hausa and English languages with exceptional feedback received. In November 2021, the Health committee organised its first outreach programme after the pandemic. It took place at Rano LGA in Kano State. The 2-day project was organised and led by a committee member with the additional aim of evaluating new clinical practices and logistical processes that evolved due to the pandemic. Due to Covid restrictions the programme was limited to free consultations. The health committee continues to organise similar online webinars on a quarterly basis, focusing on popular public health topics. The feedback from multiple sections of the targeted audience has been overwhelmingly positive. ## **Local community activities:** In 2021 covid19 impact meant our local community activities have been stopped and some moved online.
