It encompasses various channels such as social networking sites, blogs, forums, and video-sharing platforms, enabling healthcare professionals to disseminate educational content, promote health awareness, and interact with their target audiences. Additionally, healthcare social media provides opportunities for peer support, patient empowerment, and real-time disease monitoring, making it a valuable tool in modern healthcare delivery.
