The National Family and Human Development Office in Tunisia, through its regional delegation in Silyana, is organizing a health caravan on Monday in Bouarada, focusing on sexual and reproductive health. This initiative is in collaboration with the regional health administration. The goal is to bring sexual and reproductive health services closer to the population, making it easier for them to access these services, as well as psychological care, information, awareness, and education.

The health caravan is part of the efforts to strengthen the partnership between the National Family and Human Development Office, the Tunisian Association of Human Rights Journalists, the National Union of Tunisian Women, and the Tunisian Association of Midwives. These organizations are working together to support prevention and promote awareness about sexual and reproductive health, particularly among targeted groups.

During the caravan, the National Family and Human Development Office will deploy a mobile clinic equipped with a portable ultrasound device. This will enable medical consultations in the field of sexual and reproductive health, as well as check-ups for those benefiting from the caravan's services. Additionally, the office will provide an educational space with informational and awareness-raising sessions to promote the right to access information for all groups.

The initiative is part of a proximity and prevention approach, aiming to promote the right to fair and inclusive access to health services. This is achieved through the joint mobilization of various partners and teams from the National Family and Human Development Office. The caravan seeks to address the needs of the local population, particularly in terms of sexual and reproductive health.

The regional delegation of the National Family and Human Development Office in Silyana emphasized that this initiative is crucial in providing essential services to the population. By bringing these services closer to the people, the office aims to improve the overall health and well-being of the community, particularly in the area of sexual and reproductive health.
