WBCPCR Strengthens Adolescent Health System in North Bengal
The West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights (WBCPCR) held a meeting in Jalpaiguri to talk about how to help young people aged 10-19 stay healthy.
Lots of important people from different jobs, like doctors, teachers, and police, came to share ideas.
They talked about things like mental health, keeping clean during periods, eating good food, and learning about growing up.
They made a plan to make sure young people get the help they need and that everyone works together to make things better.
This is important because young people's health is often not given enough attention.
WBCPCR and Jalpaiguri district administration organized a consultation to address adolescent health issues.
Key stakeholders from health, education, police, and NGOs participated in the discussions.
Focus areas included mental health, menstrual hygiene, nutrition, and reproductive health awareness.
Priority actions identified were district preparedness, inter-departmental coordination, and accessible services.
Recommendations aim to create a more responsive support system for adolescent health across districts.
