Women’s Helping Hand Initiative has urged women to attend to their health with utmost priority.The call was made during a capacity -building sensitisation programme organised by the group in its bid to enhance the capacity of women in Lagos and Ogun States.WHHI in the first quarter of 2021 has trained several women in selected local government areas in the two South-western states.
The women and girls were educated on the various methods of family planning, myths were demystified and patients were allowed to make their own choices.At the event, adequate referrals were made to the health facilities in the community for cases that could not be handled at the health fair.Before the outreach, each of the two states was supported with supplies of family planning materials and resources which were to be distributed to all service delivery points.
