Upper deck dinning gave intimate vibe, breakfast baskets to take on early morning game drives. Ale-carte meals to unwind made it special #ElephantOasis

[Marie Stopes UG @MarieStopesUg]

Great question! Let's talk about it.

Here at Marie Stopes, we look at sexual health through one lens: prevention and access.
People make decisions in social spaces. Health services should meet them where they are.

@SolomonSerwanjj We must embrace PAC guidelines to save women’s lives- it starts with each one of us on how we frame abortion and the health worker mandate to provide life saving care

@mtnug The unclarity on how long it takes to get a wakanet connection or lack of communication after you have paid is such a shame.

Pour of you my dearest Maureen. Onwards and upwards

We had a fruitful discussion with Partners in the Sexual and Reproductive Health sector this afternoon. We agreed on how Parliament can help improve and ensure the provision of quality and accessible Reproductive Health services for our people.
Parliament will revisit the Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy to ensure an integrated and comprehensive approach to Reproductive Health.

[Naguru Teenage Center 🟢 @NaguruC]

Government & private institutions have, without a doubt, made an effort to avail, deliver, and/or create awareness for sexual & reproductive health services & information, however, young people still face challenges accessing these services.

Why?
