Women's Health is Community Health
While family planning and pre- and post-natal monitoring is undoubtedly one of the most critical and desired services we offer, it also is one of the most costly. Your support is desperately needed to help ensure the stability of our and maternal health services, which in turn affect all aspects of health in a community.
Your monthly gift of $13 supports two women throughout their pregnancies and helps ensure a healthy start to motherhood for a woman and her children!
For years, women during mobile clinics sought contraceptive services from Floating Doctors, but regulatory constraints and costs prevented us from fulfilling this crucial need. Now, thanks to your support, we've empowered over 800 women with family planning and contraceptive resources in various methods, with more added each month.
Enabling families to decide when they will have children opens up numerous opportunities. Young women can complete their education without the burden of caring for a newborn, and families can allocate their funds more efficiently with fewer mouths to feed. Your contribution to our family planning services empowers women, families, and entire communities, granting them greater control over their lives.
In addition to family planning services, Floating Doctors is committed to ensuring that women have the support they need when they are ready to start a family. We help educate women on preparing for a healthy pregnancy, monitor their health and fetal development, and provide post-natal follow up to help mom and baby have a healthy start. Your gift provides prenatal vitamins, ultrasounds, basic labs, and counseling throughout pregnancy and beyond.
