Theme pack
Here is our theme pack of FRI resources for June, this time about a variety of health issues. Countries across the world are justifiably focused on COVID-19. But other health problems are not vanishing just because of COVID-19. They continue to cause sickness and death, which may even increase as health resources are stretched thin to respond to COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more critical that broadcasters continue to cover other health issues.
