"Education of the population of Azerbaijan in the field of reproductive health" project UPDATED: 31 MARCH 2015

In 2015, the Public Health and Reforms Center (PHRC) started the implementation of the four-month project on "Education of the population of Azerbaijan in the field of reproductive health". The project is implemented with the technical support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Office in Azerbaijan.

The project envisages using the resources of the educational electronic portal www.saglamliq.isim.az created by PHRC in 2014. That portal was created to inform the population on the most pressing issues related to the prevention of diseases and improvement of sanitary literacy. The task of the project implemented jointly with UNFPA is to use those resources to increase the population's awareness of reproductive health problems, to reduce the risk factors of maternal health behavior, to inform women of reproductive age about the importance of timely applying for antenatal, perinatal and postnatal services, as well as coverage of specific issues related selective abortions and to gender-based violence.

Within the framework of the project, the latest modern recommendations based on reliable facts of evidence-based medicine will be regularly added to the www.saglamliq.isim.az electronic portal. Therefore, the project will use population centered information and training materials of UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO, CDC, NICE and other influential international organizations working in the field of reproductive health, family planning and prevention of gender violence, and will be translated and adapted to the Azerbaijani language.
