The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Nepal has launched a one year project to deliver mobile reproductive health services to conflict-affected populations, local media reported on Tuesday.

According to a press release issued by the UNFPA here on Monday, the aim of the program is to organize reproductive health camps in six districts of the far-western and mid-western regions of Nepal, serving close to 25,000 women of reproductive age, and men and adolescents affected by conflict, a leading website, nepalnews.com reported.

The reproductive health camps will provide essential reproductive health services, counseling, lab tests, treatment, referral and surgical care, all of which are urgently needed.

By increasing access to reproductive health services this project will also contribute to the promotion of human rights, empowerment of youth and women, and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, the release added.
