SFH Sensitises Niger Women to Reproductive Health

October 9, 2023 • 1 min read

The Society for Family Health has embarked on a programme to prevent Niger State women from having unwanted pregnancies.

SFH has trained 150 healthcare workers and community mobilisers to promote and strengthen self-care contraceptives among women.

While 100 were trained as family planning providers, 50 were trained as community mobilisers in 81 facilities.

The Behavioural Change Communication Officer for SFH DISC, Nufin’allah Al-hamdu, disclosed this in an interview with The PUNCH.

“The whole essence of self-care is to ensure women have more autonomy over their sexual and reproductive health, allowing them to decide when they want to get pregnant.

“By providing access to self-injecting contraceptives, we aim to prevent unintended pregnancies, reduce the strain on health care facilities, and improve women’s overall reproductive health,” Al-hamdu said.

He listed the advantages of self-injection, including decongestion of health care facilities, reduced waiting times for patients, cost savings on transportation, and a decreased workload for health care providers.
