Tunisia launches Down syndrome monitoring booklet
The Basic Healthcare Directorate in Tunisia has launched the "Follow-up Book for Children with Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)" for the first time, with the aim of organizing their healthcare and promoting health equity. The booklet is distributed to all relevant departments and is handed to the guardian at the time of diagnosis. It is used during all medical visits for the child. The booklet contains guidelines for periodic check-ups according to age and aims to improve coordination among doctors and ensure continuity of care. Additionally, a training session for doctors is planned for September 2026 to familiarize them with its use. Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is one of the most common chromosomal disorders in Tunisia, with more than 200 new cases recorded annually, requiring careful multidisciplinary follow-up.
