COVID-19 Surger and Response: Rapid, Remote Assistance to Model Needs and Mobilize Health Workers
Frontline health workers are the backbone of national responses to COVID-19 yet are often in short supply even in normal times. IntraHealth International offers a rapid and remote approach to enable countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Family Planning & Reproductive Health
This brief provides an overview of IntraHealth’s approaches and recent work in family planning and reproductive health.
IntraHealth International supports the fundamental human right of all people to plan the number, timing, and spacing of their children. That’s why we’re committed to helping countries provide the family planning and reproductive health services their communities need. And we do it by investing in health workers.
We focus on health workers because without them, health care doesn’t happen. From helping couples space or limit pregnancies to helping adolescents plan their futures, health workers have the power to provide a full range of services at any stage of clients’ reproductive lives.
