Family planning mobile clinic to offer free services across Luzon

Non-profit organization DKT Philippines Foundation launched the Service Outreach and Distribution Extension Program in Binangonan, Rizal, aiming to give couples and parents in far-flung areas safe and accessible modern family planning methods. Among the family planning commodities that the mobile clinic offers for free are pills, condoms, injectables, and intrauterine devices . Bilateral tubal ligation using local anesthesia, and even non-scalpel vasectomy are also available at no cost.

"I hope they can be able to expand this to other local government units across the country para mas makakatulong sila sa Department of Health in terms of the implementation of this program," Baggao added.This year, the mobile clinic is only set to travel across Central Luzon, Northern Luzon, Cordillera Administrative Region, Mimaropa, and Calabarzon for a total of 119 days. It, however, aims to cover areas in the Visayas and Mindanao by next year.
