The Senegal Health Institute’s goal is to provide stable access to reproductive healthcare and family planning services for women and adolescent girls.
We provide:
Labor & delivery services
Prenatal, postpartum, and newborn exams
Ultrasound services
Education about family planning, birth spacing, and modern contraception (including counseling for men and reproductive health and family planning for adolescent girls)
Modern contraceptives
STD prevention education, testing (including HIV), and treatment referral
Childbirth, pregnancy, and breastfeeding education
Well-women care and breast exams
Education and support concerning domestic violence
Child malnutrition prevention support
We provide prenatal, labor & delivery, postpartum, and newborn care to many women who do not typically seek care or even consult with a professional healthcare provider. In fact, 52% of women in Senegal have their babies without the guidance of a skilled healthcare provider. We encourage these women to learn of the importance of giving birth at a skilled facility such as ours, where conditions are sanitary and they can be served by professionally trained providers. Our clinic is situated in an ideal location; it is accessible, private, and safe, and serves as a gateway for women to access safer means of childbirth, and increase the chance of survival for the mother and her baby.
