28.07.2026. The Balkan Velayat Branch of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan (NRCST), in collaboration with the Women's Union of Turkmenistan, held an educational awareness event in the Bereket Etrap. The meeting focused on key issues regarding tuberculosis prevention, safeguarding women’s health, and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

The meeting was dedicated to topical issues of tuberculosis prevention, the protection of women's health, and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle culture. The event also included discussions on preparations for the upcoming 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan's Independence and the Halk Maslahaty — an event for which preparations are in full swing.

The main objective of the initiative was to raise awareness among women about transmission routes, early symptoms, and modern methods of preventing and treating tuberculosis. Organizers emphasized that tuberculosis is fully curable today, with early detection being the cornerstone of successful recovery.

During the session, NRCST specialists and Women’s Union activists highlighted the importance of regular medical check-ups, fluorography screenings, personal hygiene, balanced nutrition, and strong immunity in protecting the body. Informational brochures and guidance leaflets were also distributed to participants.

The organizers noted that joint initiatives of this nature play a vital role in protecting maternal and family health while making a significant contribution to Turkmenistan's national public health programs.
