The health mediators from Montana, Zaichar and Pirot share their experience

NNHM is among the partners of Montana Municipality in the “Health” component of the project. The project goals are focused on health prevention, prophylaxis and creating a better access to health services for marginalized communities with a focus on Roma. Special attention is being paid to family planning and maternal and child healthcare.
The ZOV Programme concludes its work in 2019 but the activities will be sustained and upgraded under a project of BFPA whose experts are consultants of the ZOV Programme in all its ongoing. BFPA’s new project is supported by the “Merck for Mothers” programme which will run until 2021 in Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania, and Sofia Yambol, Montana, Belgrade, Zaichar and Pirot are a part of the project locations. The Serbian project partner is SRH Srbija Association who helped in the bilateral meetings organizing. In May hopefully the Serbian colleagues will return the visit and go to Sofia and Montana. They will get familiar on the spot with the work in the Ogosta and Kosharnik neighbourhoods as well as the village of Gabrovnitza, where health education activities and medical examinations are being held in the created  Health consultation centers. We are certain this is just one step of a long-term collaboration.
