Dialogue held on population, reproductive health

A collaboration between SZABIST and Pathfinder International

KARACHI: Pathfinder International, in collaboration with Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (Szabist), under the project 'Naya Qadam', held the second event in the series 'Family Planning and Population Issues', titled, 'Youth Dialogue- Unpacking Gender and Age for Family Planning,' on Thursday.

The panellists engaged with the youth to discuss their behaviours and practices around access to various forms of contraception and health care services as it is important to educate the young population about reproductive health.

The panellists included Dr Agha Xaher Gul, Dr Shama and Zainab Feroz, a SZABIST student.

Szabist President Shahnaz Wazir Ali concluded the dialogue by appreciating efforts of Pathfinder International Country Director Dr Tabinda Sarosh. Ali emphasised on the dire need of such events to provide access to information regarding their health and overall wellbeing.
