Dr. Fares Al-Waeel, YFCA Surveillance and Relief in-charge stated that this theoretical/practical training session targeted 15 community midwives working in different district of Hajja governorate. Most of those midwives are working in health centers which do not provide IUDs insertion and removal services.
