A Caravan of West African medical students Thursday began work in Niger, looking after patients and monitoring their sexual and reproductive lives.
According to organizers of the Caravan or travel clinic, the 60-day event will see the student doctors treat patients in eight regions of the country.
The event was launched here with the Niger Minister of Higher Education, Research and Technologies, Sidikou Oumarou, and the US Ambassador to Niger, Bernardette Marie Allen, as witnesses.
According to the minister, "I expect the project to contribute to the improvement of the sexual and reproductive lives of Nigeriens.
"This can also bring about significant behavioural changes among the people and help them face more effectively some public health problems."
