Mexico
in 2003 led a partnership to improve
quality RH and maternal health through
training in the Dominican Republic
and Honduras.
•
In
1999, Mexfam, an NGO providing FP/RH
programmes was one of the 4 centres
identified by PPD to coordinate South-South
partnerships in the region, which
led to the establishment of an internet-based
information-sharing network for adolescents
in 2001.
•
Under
its nationwide 1995-2000 RH Programme
initiated by the Ministry of Health,
Mexico implemented a South-South cooperative
programme with 14 countries within
the Central/South American and Caribbean
region. The programme benefited about
236 participants in the region.
•
Along
with Belize and Guatemala, Mexico
participated in a tri-national agreement
to improve RH in their border areas
in 1997.
•
The
National Institute of Nutrition of
Mexico and the Latin American Network
for Research & Training in Human
Reproduction continue to provide research
opportunities to young biomedical
and social scientists in the region.
•
With
support and technical assistance from
UNFPA, Mexico designed a 3-year South-South
collaborative programme in 1996 for
population and health officers, health
operational personnel, women’s
health advocates and NGO representatives.
The project benefited 83 participants
from the region.
•
An
important initiative by the Ministry
of Health was the setting up of the
Mother and Child Friendly Hospital
which promoted breastfeeding practices,
contraception after birth, training
of healthcare personnel in neonatal
and peri-natal care.
