IPPF is currently supporting the PNG Family Health Association extend essential health services from its 8 static clinics in hard-to-reach communities via the mobile clinics outreach program.
PNG, one of the most populated countries in the Pacific, also has one of the highest maternal death rates. The current downward trend of women accessing health facilities or having a skilled birth attendant present during childbirth is alarming. These concerning situation is expected to be further derailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through our global teams and partners, we continue to deliver healthcare to clients wherever they are including communities impacted by humanitarian disasters or living in protracted crises, young people, and marginalized groups such as those living with a disability. Working through our global networks we advocate for the protection of sexual and reproductive rights, and especially the right to safe abortion.
