Education Programme for Improvement in Adolescent Health

With the aim to improve the gynecological health of Indian Women an educational programme is conducted every year by the Federation of Obstetric and Gynecological Societies of India in the month of December. The programme aims at helping young girls develop a positive attitude towards themselves and towards growing up by presenting biological facts about mensuration and puberty to help the children cope with the physical and emotional changes of adolescence.

The Programme starts with a brief introduction to the topic followed by a brief audio visual film. A doctor speaker further explains the details and takes up the concerns and doubts of the girls.
