IX ECPD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
PROMOTION AND CARE
AS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF
PRONATALITY POLICIES
(Belgrade, 6 - 8 December 2018)
We have the pleasure to invite you to participate in the work of this traditional ECPD International School „Reproductive Health Promotion and Care“ (hereinafter: School). Preservation and improvement of reproductive health has special significance in each society, especially in those 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, gynaecologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, and other specialties), educators, social workers, sociologists, demographers and other profiles of experts engaged in this field.
Introductary lectures will be delivered by Prof. Dr. Slavica Đukić Dejanović, Minister in the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in charge of Demography and Population Policy. Co-Directors of the School are Prof. Dr. Nenad V. Babić, Medical Faculty, University of Banja Luka, Prof. Dr. Vesna Kopitović, ECPD UPUN Professor, and Prof. Dr. Bojana Berić, Long Island University (LIU), New York, USA.
