The OB-GYN Practice and #BeFree Cares Clinic have partnered to improve reproductive healthcare for young people.
Thus, emphasising their shared commitment to increasing access to high-quality obstetric and gynaecological care, particularly for women and girls in underserved areas.
During the event on Monday, the two organisations signed an agreement at the #BeFree Youth Campus in Katutura, kicking off a revolutionary cooperation. “This initiative represents our unwavering commitment to advancing women’s health because by providing accessible and specialised care, we aim to empower women and girls to take control of their health,
make informed decisions and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives,” said specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Simon Emvula.
The women’s health advocate said the outreach addresses a wide range of healthcare needs – from the management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to providing prenatal and postpartum care.
The executive director of the One Economy Foundation Monica Geingos said “quality and accessible reproductive healthcare are important and critical for all demographics in the country”.
She added that these facilities to those that are not centred in a specific region, are of the essence.
Geingos scknowledged OB-GYN Practice’s involvement, and the care they showed during the first clinic outreach.
Sister Rachel Iyambo, the #BeFree Cares Clinic manager, highlighted the importance of OB-GYN Practice commitment to providing essential obstetric and gynaecological care, especially to those who face financial, geographical and social barriers.
The next outreach is scheduled for 29 March 2025 in Groot Aub, continuing the quarterly free consultations and expanding the reach of these critical services.
Alongside gynaecological examinations, ultrasounds and fertility screening, participants will benefit from reproductive health education and personalised treatment plans.
