On 7-23 June 2013, around 100 obstetrician-gynecologists from Yerevan and marzes of Armenia were trained in "Modern approaches to prenatal and postnatal care with integration of HIV/AIDS counseling", with support from UNFPA.
The training course was conducted within the framework of “Strengthening Sexual and Reproductive Health Services” project implemented through cooperation of RA Ministry of Health Institute of Reproductive Health, Perinatology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and UNFPA Armenia Country Office. It included topics such as safe motherhood and effective perinatal care, evidence-based medicine in perinatology, infections during pregnancy, natal and post-natal periods, as well as many other important issues.
The course also touched upon the issue of sex-at-birth imbalances in Armenia regarding which discussions were held following screening of a film on the findings of the relevant UNFPA survey.
