Women’s Health and System Strengthening Project (WHaSS) is funded by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs, Open Heart International and ADRA Australia. The project runs from July 2019 – June 2024 and is implemented in 4 districts within Provinces 1 and 2.
Working in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Population, Scheer Memorial Adventist Hospital and other government hospitals and health facilities the project aims to strengthen the health system and build clinical capacity focusing on Women’s Health issues, in particular Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
The project will facilitate community health education and behaviour change interventions and provide access to screening, treatment and care for affected and at risk females in order to improve the reproductive and gynaecological health of women and adolescent girls.
