Reproductive Health Clinic

We envisage RUWSEC’s clinic/hospital to be an alternative health facility in all respects: in the quality of health care it provides, its approach to women’s health as related to their low status, its focus on enabling women to take charge of their health instead of being passive recipients of health care, in its treatment of women as intelligent and capable persons who will work towards improving their health if given the means to do so.
