On May 22, Ambassador Kagomiya attended the completion ceremony of the Postpartum Family Planning Training Workshop, which was held for five days from May 18 to May 22 as part of the "Project for Strengthening Maternal and Child Health Services at Primary Healthcare Facilities" implemented by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) with the financial support from Japan.
This project aims to reduce the maternal mortality rate in the FSM by improving medical facilities and strengthening the capacity of healthcare professionals. In this training, 19 midwives, doctors, and maternity staff from all the four states received training on providing counseling for postpartum family planning to women who have recently given birth and on how to use contraceptives to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
Ambassador Kagomiya expressed his respect for the participants of the training, stating that their dedication would lead to the success for this project. The Ambassador added that Japan would continue to support improvements to maternal and child health in the FSM.
