“Health Mirror is that one stop shop where you get your health needs in one package: prevention, treatment and rehabilitation, just like the mobile hospital it represents” Prof. Tih reveals.
    The maiden edition of the magazine with 28 colour pages zooms into the general health care system in Cameroon. In its banner the magazine insinuates that the world worries about disability more than persons living with disabilities. On its front page is the beautiful picture of CRTV’s journalist Hilda Bih has proved to the world that disability is not inability.
