Kenya: EngenderHealth's work in Kenya dates to 1982 and has expanded through the years in response to evolving needs. Initially, our family planning programs focused on training doctors in safer, more client-centered surgical sterilization and counseling styles. Today, Engender Health’s breadth of work includes maternal health care, HIV prevention, child survival initiatives, and more. Uganda: Since 2004, Engender Health has partnered with the Ugandan Ministry of Health in their health centers and hospitals to build awareness of obstetric fistula and to support its prevention, treatment, and repair. From 2004 to 2013, we trained 26 doctors and 761 nurses to perform fistula repair surgery and supported a total of 3,534 surgeries. On the prevention side, Engender Health greatly improved the quality of obstetric care and family planning services, both of which can prevent obstetric fistula from occurring. Tanzania: Engender Health, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children (MOHCDGEC),works in Tanzania nationwide on family planning (FP), gender issues, FP-HIV integration, and other health initiatives. The expansion of Engender Health’s FP program to all 26 regions of the country has contributed to women’s having a wider choice of methods, including the highly effective but harder to deliver hormonal implants, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and permanent methods, such as female sterilization |
