An Awareness Workshop Titled “Premarital Screening” – Salkhad Community Centre
An awareness workshop titled “Premarital Screening” was held at Salkhad Community Centre. The workshop focused on the importance of premarital screening in limiting the spread of some genetic and infectious diseases. The workshop also included a psychosocial support session titled “Women’s Right to Education”.
The health educator explained, “ Premarital screening aims primarily to give couples who are planning to get married soon medical consultation on the odds of transmitting genetic diseases to their children.”
It should be noted that Salkhad Community Centre, which is a part of Da’am Project, is funded by the UNFPA and one of its main goals is to raise the awareness of the local community through various awareness-raising sessions.
