Women and girls in Palawan are once again welcome to visit our clinic for free reproductive health services. Quarantine restrictions have eased up, and essential health facilities are now allowed to reopen. But we’re not letting our guards down.
From the moment each of our clients show up at our door until they leave, we apply best practices to prevent COVID-19 from spreading. Each client needs to schedule an appointment in advance, in order to avoid long queues and crowding.
At your service! Nurses Jayson and Piety, together with Clinical Assistant Geralden are excited to be back in our reproductive health clinic to provide more women with free birth control options such as pills, subdermal implants, injectables, and condoms.
As soon as a client approaches the door, we check her temperature and request her to disinfect her shoes.
Physical distancing is easier as clients and staff have minimal physical contact with new plastic barriers installed, and client gets to sit on a newly disinfected chair in every step of the consultation.
During a health crisis, an unplanned pregnancy poses much greater danger to the health, safety and survival of women and girls. That’s why we can’t afford to compromise access to birth control.
We’re still providing mobile clinical services to women and girls who still can’t leave their homes. But with our clinic doors now open, we can help more women and girls choose to postpone pregnancy until they are ready, while also doing our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
