#OMOZ2024 Thursday thoughts!💭 As we continue to advance in the treatment and understanding of otitis media, a key question arises: How can public health policies better support early diagnosis and access to treatment for vulnerable populations?

Early diagnosis and access to treatment are critical in preventing long-term complications and ensuring equitable health outcomes. What changes would you propose to make these healthcare services more accessible and effective? Could mobile health clinics, telemedicine, or community health programs play a role? The video showcases the otitis media guidelines app. This tool can simplify clinical decision making and provide recommendations based on current evidence.
