Glory Reborn founder Hilary Overton welcomes Senator Pia Cayetano to her community clinic, which provides maternity services to poor and marginalized women in Cebu City.Senator Pia S. Cayetano recently acknowledged the important role of community medical clinics in delivering much-needed primary healthcare services to the people.
The senator recalled that the country had a high maternal mortality rate a decade ago prior to the passage of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act , which Cayetano defended and helped pass in 2012. “Maternal deaths are preventable deaths. Most of these happen when there is no access to prenatal care, which would have allowed the patient to know ahead if there are complications in her pregnancy,” she told reporters in a mix of Bisaya and English.
“There may be those who had unplanned pregnancies who will just seek maternal care when they are about to give birth. And so it’s a big deal that we have clinics like this in the heart of the neighborhood to help these women,” she added.
