African Reproductive Health and Family Planning Conference kicks off in Ethiopia
The three-day conference, which will last for three days, has kicked off in Addis Ababa; Minister of Health Dr. Mekdes Daba said in her opening remarks that self-care is essential for the health service system.
Self-care is the ability of individuals, families and communities to maintain their own health and prevent disease, with or without the support of a health professional.
Dr. Mekdes said that self-care helps individuals take control of their own health; self-care has enabled MoH to increase the coverage of reproductive health services in Ethiopia.
