This has negatively impacted pregnancy and child development outcomes, which is evident in the baseline data collected by the NFP project of TSA.

pregnancy of minors and juveniles (health insured) pregnant women from the neighborhood who encounter significant difficulties in finding a specialist to monitor their pregnancy the program of the Health Insurance Fund. The functioning of the cabinet will also support the work of home visiting nurses from the NFP program, operated by TSA.
The main and only activity of the project is to provide maintenance to a medical office in the Fakulteta district. The activity includes:
- provision of materials and consumables for the normal operation of medical professionals
- cover the overhead costs of cabinet (not more than 10% of the cost of electricity and water of the building)
- cover the cost of hygiene materials.
- engage a cleaning person according to the number of working days of the doctors.
