DKT Gives Out Free Family Planning Products and Services at the Healthy Pilipinas Fair 2023

With the help of the Phil Harvey Fund, this program aims to reintegrate registered midwives who are no longer actively practicing by providing comprehensive training on modern family planning methods and behavior change communication. Through this program, midwives are equipped to engage and educate those using traditional contraception methods, guiding them toward more effective, modern family planning options.

The SHIFT program empowers communities to make informed choices about family planning. Through house-to-house visits, Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) from partner barangays engage with households still using traditional family planning methods. The program provides counseling and guidance to introduce modern, safe, and effective family planning options, including pills, injectables, IUDs, and two-rod implants, helping families transition to methods that best suit their health and lifestyle.

Launched in May 2024, the Service Outreach and Distribution Extension (SODEX) Mobile Clinic made possible by TRUST is the first family planning ambulatory clinic in the Philippines. This program is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to expand the access to safe and accessible modern family planning methods and bring them closer to Filipinos in remote areas, free of charge.

The program includes training on various family planning methods, including the use of postpartum intrauterine devices (IUDs). Through this program, healthcare providers will receive hands-on training on how to insert and remove postpartum IUDs, as well as how to counsel patients on the benefits and risks of this method.

We are the only outreach service in the country that provides these services, including free Bilateral Tubal Ligations and counseling on the use of pills, injectables, condoms, and other modern types of contraception. Through the help of LGUs, we are committed to provide high-quality and affordable family planning options to all Filipinos, regardless of their socio-economic status or geographic location.
