[Participation in the IEC Workshop on Adolescent Sexual Health--a challenge to protect reproductive health/right in Latin America and Caribbean Region].
In order to explore the possibility of new global activity in nursing/midwifery to be performed by the WHO Collaborating Center for Nursing Development in Primary Health Care at St. Luke's College of Nursing, the center sent two faculty members to attend the IEC Workshop on Adolescent Sexual Health held in November 1996 in Mexico. The two representatives took part as resource persons and reported to the workshop on the activities of nurses and midwives for adolescent sexual health in Japan. During the session, they obtained information on the actual situation of adolescent sexual health in Latin America and Caribbean region and the novel strategies which were carried out in cooperation between governmental and non governmental organizations. The workshop also provided a good opportunity for international communication and information exchange with health workers in the region about adolescent sexual health. By participating in the workshop, we obtained first-hand information on various aspects of cooperation in international health.
