Training on Youth-Friendly Health Services and Post-Abortion Care

The capacity of healthcare providers to provide youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health information and services including post-abortion care to young people in Lagos State was built with the training of twelve (12) providers from June 15-19, 2009 at the AHI Youth Centre.

The programme’s objectives were basically to improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of the healthcare providers in the key concepts and methodology required in providing youth-friendly health services and effective post-abortion care as well as to increase access of healthcare providers to resource materials required to effectively establish and provide youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health information and services.

Various methodologies including group work, role play, brain-storming and discussions segments were incorporated in the training.

The training was facilitated by AHI with support from Ipas Nigeria (International Project Assistance Services).
