Studies are under way on the integration of family planning services into a comprehensive health insurance programme. The State is making great efforts to draw women's attention to disease prevention and family planning services, and to modify the ways health insurance associations are administered in order to improve the quality of service while bearing in mind the means of needier sectors of the population. The Ministry of Education has included elements of reproductive health in school curricula especially at the secondary level, while print, audio and visual media are also active in the health education of women through special radio and television programmes. There is also an Egyptian television channel which specializes in raising awareness to health issues and providing advice. [Para 41]
