    RE:
    • Marek Posobkiewicz, medical doctor / Chief Sanitary Inspector, Chief Sanitary Inspectorate

    This is a very interesting article. I work as the Chief Sanitary Inspector in Poland for 6 years. For several years, I have started to use modern ways of communication. I started to forward health promotion information as rapper, rocker and through the movie. With English subtitels I have only two productions, one for mushrooms, the other for vaccination.

    mushrooms -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We-TrUYSkNs
    vaccination -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ynQpkFPQAM&t=160s

    Another example - about supplements, but only in Polish:
