10. Disseminate Health Information and Combat Misinformation
Social media can help
health institutions to disseminate health information by rapidly sharing
information with the population. Information about healthy living,
immunization, disease outbreaks, prevention can be offered to populations via
social media (Junhan & Wang,
2021).
Moreover, social media can potentially combat the
spread of misinformation by refuting rumors, fact-checking algorithms, and
optimization strategies to only display evidence-based health information to
users (Junhan & Wang,
2021; Mheidly & Fares, 2020).
