The health care system or sector do not have a clear cut plan for adolescent to access health care services in Nigeria and this is not unconnected with certain cultural norms values and beliefs particularly when it has to do with services related to the reproductive health such as family planning, sexual health etc. As a result, most young people look for way out from untrained health care workers and this often lead to poor treatment outcome for young people.
The symposium will focus on the need for One Stop Shop as adolescent health friendly Centre to be established by government into the existing primary health care center why young people can asses information and treatment on Good health and optimum nutrition for improved health outcomes.
