CHALLENGES FOR THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROTECTION OF THE BALKAN POPULATION
(Miločer, 6 – 10. July 2015)
We have the pleasure to invite you to participate in VI ECPD International Summer School “Reproductive Health Promotion and Care” (hereinafter: School), which will be devoted to the main topic “Challenges for the Reproductive Health Protection of the Balkan Population“.
Preservation and improvement of reproductive health has special significance in each society, especially in the societies characterized by low birth rates. Therefore, measures for improvement of reproductive health of adolescents, for healthy motherhood and infertility problem solving are significant elements of strategic activities in developed countries with the aim to achieve simple replacement of generations. Particularly significant is the role of some Ministries – Health and Social Welfare, Culture, Education and Sports. The reproductive health care is especially important in those communities where the reproductive model has both contemporary and traditional elements, where early involvement in sexual intercourse and postponed child bearing are a reality, as well as reliance on inefficient contraceptives and widely applied induced termination of pregnancies. Based on the fact that the multi-sector approach to protection of reproductive health brings the most efficient results, the program of the School has been designed so that the participants may be medical doctors (specialists of family medicine, gynecologists, pediatricians, and other specialties), educators, social workers and other profiles of experts engaged in this field.
