The law on eliminating violence against women of 2017 stipulates that special curricula should be integrated in the programs for medical and nurse students. The Ministry of Health worked in partnership with the National Office for the Family and Human Urbanism to complete the training program for those involved in the health sector, especially those working in the emergency departments to enhance their capabilities in the field of detection and evaluation of all forms of violence against women as well as examination, treatment and follow-up of cases. It also organized awareness sessions on the law on eliminating violence against women, the mechanisms of providing care and coordination in various fields.
National Board for Family and Human Urbanism managed to secure over 90 training sessions on violence against women and girls at the regional level, that benefited more than 2000 medical and paramedical personnel, and 6 workshops for over 165 emergency medical workers. Over 30 medical workers benefited from a Training of Trainers course on providing care for women victims of violence.
The Faculty of Medicine has incorporated a postgraduate degree in sexual and reproductive health, which includes a course on violence against women.
