3-nation tie-up to curb teenage pregnancy in PH

Tacloban City—In a bid to curb teenage pregnancies in Eastern Visayas, the United Nations and the Korea International Cooperation Agency turned over two mobile health facilities that will offer free medical services to Samar and Southern Leyte provincial governments.

“I would like to remind everyone that KOICA stands with you in safeguarding and improving adolescent health and well-being. This year, we are celebrating the 75 years of Philippines-Korea diplomatic relations and the 30th anniversary of KOICA in the Philippines,” said KOICA country director Kim Eunsub.

The region had the highest percentage of female teenagers who were currently pregnant at the time of the survey. “Through this mobile clinic, we will be bringing essential health services directly to the doorsteps of our young people. From sexual and reproductive health education to maternal and child health services, TrucKABATAAN will provide comprehensive support tailored to the unique needs of adolescents,” Sabalberino said.
