    The Association of Health Communicators in Africa (l’Association des communicateurs en sante de l’Afrique, ASCA) has set up a branch in Benin.

    Its aim is to promote health development education among Beninese through mass communications, PANA reported on Saturday.

    Reine Azifan, a journalist who specialises in covering health issues for the daily ‘La Nation’, was elected president of the association’s Benin chapter. The ASCA was created in 1995.
