Universal Health Radio Urdu

Universal Health Radio Urdu is the Urdu-language service of Universal Health Radio, a free, low-data global health information project. Universal Health Radio is a program of Kinbridge Global, a nonprofit organization, and offers clinician-reviewed health guidance drawn from sources such as the World Health Organization, the US CDC and the FDA.

The project covers 14 languages, and the Urdu channel serves the South Asia audience. The content is spoken health and public health information rather than music, so expect educational segments on health topics. The station is listed under Pakistan, and the project does not present itself as a commercial broadcaster: its aim is to make reliable guidance available to people with limited data or connectivity.

The internet stream is a low-bitrate mono MP3 at about 48 kbps, which suits slow or costly mobile connections. The stream's own title is given in Urdu. The project's website notes that its app reads guidance aloud using text-to-speech on the listener's device, so the sound of this stream may differ from the in-app experience.
