The Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA) has deployed its humanitarian response team to Gizo, Western Province, to support communities affected by Tropical Cyclone Maila.
A statement from SIPPA said two separate teams will travel to Simbo and Vella la Vella, to provide women, girls, young people, and men access to life-saving sexual and reproductive health services.
Through mobile clinics and community outreach, the teams will deliver the Minimum Initial Service Package for sexual and reproductive health in emergencies, ensuring timely care.
SIPPA is working closely with the Provincial Health Committee, the Provincial Protection Committee, and UNFPA to coordinate the response.
The initiative is funded by the Australian Government’s aid program through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in partnership with the International Planned Parenthood Federation’s SPRINT initiative.
