Health Minister Abel Salinas Rivas on Friday reiterated his commitment to take joint actions aimed at protecting teenagers' rights.
According to Salinas, it is necessary to create spaces to promote the healthy development of teenagers' abilities and assure them a better future.
In this sense, he urged health professionals to stand up and join efforts to recognize young people's spaces and rights.
The minister also welcomed this new UNICEF project, which seeks to support the
development of comprehensive policies to expand and enhance specialized education and health services for teenagers.
It must be noted this project —supported by the
Government of Canada— will be implemented in Huancavelica, Loreto, Ucayali, and Lima regions over the next seven years.
