The language of signs
Billboards are a quick way to learn what the health concerns of a community or even a country are.
If you want to know what’s on the mind of a community, just take a look at its public health signs. We have compiled photos of billboards and signs taken by students on international electives all over the developing world. Some are an attempt to educate people to do something healthy such as breastfeeding their babies. Others reflect an attempt to debunk erroneous beliefs such as the myth that sleeping with a virgin will cure AIDS. Billboards are a quick way to learn what the health concerns of a community or even a country are, so the next time you travel abroad take note and take care.
