The National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW) organised, in collaboration with the Saint Joseph University (USJ) a training workshop on "Women's Health: Needs and Priorities". The workshop was held earlier this week at the Medical Sciences Campus as part of the partnership agreement between the two organisations aiming at improving medical services offered to women in Lebanon.
The workshops were facilitated by experts from the University and sought to update the knowledge and skills of health care workers especially about women's life cycle and health conditions. Some 80 health care workers representing various primary health care centres and dispensaries located in Beirut and Mount Lebanon took part in this training.
Discussions during the workshop focused on the importance of regular medical check-ips, dental health, maternal and child health, vaccination requirements as well as pre and post natal care and women's mental health.
