Our mobile midwives reach women with discreet and accessible services.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is not only material conditions, like poverty and poor health provision, that prevent women from accessing short-term and long-term family planning methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intangible obstacles like stigma from the community, or religious and cultural restrictions can also go a long way towards making these services difficult to access. This channel is an innovative, scalable and low-cost delivery intervention, designed to overcome challenges of access to FP by supporting nurses and\/or midwives in peri-urban areas to expand service delivery, to their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
