SMC continued its efforts to engage the Obstetricians and Gynecologists (OBGYNs) to promote the Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARC) through their private facilities. Keeping the mission in mind, SMC’s Pink Star Program convened ‘Experience Sharing and Performance Review Meeting’ with OBGYN doctors in Rajshahi and Chattogram on March 10 and 15, 2021 respectively. The meetings focused on LARC performance review, sharing best practices and discussion on way forward. Good performers were recognized in the meetings for their contribution and shared views in the panel discussion. Due to the pandemic, the sessions were held by maintaining safety guidelines.

A total of 70 OBGYNs under the Pink Star program attended the sessions. Professor Dr. Farhana Dewan, President Elect, Obstetrical and Gynecological Society of Bangladesh (OGSB) along with the President and Secretary General of respective OGSB branches, Divisional Director, Civil Surgeon, DDFP of Chattogram, Deputy Civil Surgeon of Rajshahi and Mr. Toslim Uddin Khan, Chief of Program Operations, SMC were present on the occasion.
