SERAC-Bangladesh with support from Ipas Bangladesh has celebrated World Population Day 2024 on 12-25 September with the theme ‘Democracy, Demand, Dividend: Celebration of World Population Day 2024’ under Improving SRHR in Dhaka project in 3 areas of Dhaka North and South city corporations including Nobodoy Bazar, Faydabad-Uttara, and Bosila.
Volunteers under this project named as ‘Projonon Shasthya Bondhu’ have organized 3 health camps by engaging the general practitioners (GPs) and community people. Besides, they have shared information on family planning services and its importance provided by their nearby general practitioners (GP) of their designated areas through community awareness campaigns, Miking and sticker pasting.
Volunteers have organized the events on their own and GPs have supported them in the health camps, have also shared their experience regarding this. ‘Projonon Shasthya Bondhu’ Tahrin from Bosila said, “Through my journey in this project I have got to learn many skills, and engaging the community is one of those. Our GP has supported us a lot in arranging the health camp which was very helpful for the community to know about their nearby Women Plus health facility.”
