For more than a decade, the health center in Al-Faidami region, Al-Mahrah Governorate, was unable to receive a single delivery, and most women and girls faced difficulty accessing basic reproductive health services.
The medical staff there summarized the dire situation the center had reached, saying, "Once, we had to perform a delivery using a mobile phone light, and another time, a delivery was performed on the floor due to the lack of even the most basic medical facilities."
People from the region and its surrounding areas had to travel long distances to receive medical care, and during these long journeys, some women and newborns died, according to local residents.
It was a dream to provide support for this health facility, which serves thousands of women in these rural areas and reduces the health risks for women and girls in need of reproductive health services.
Now, this dream has been realized with the health voucher program. Through the Reproductive Health Services Support Project, funded by UNFPA, HUMAN ACCESS provided the necessary support to enable the health center to provide reproductive health services, including medicines, medical supplies, and other items.
Thanks to this support, residents no longer need to endure the burdens and inconvenience of traveling to obtain these life-saving services. As Asma Omar, a resident of the area, said, "Today we are very blessed, and we thank you for providing us with services essential to our survival."
