What We Do › Sexually Transmitted Infections › Women's Health Initiative
Women’s primary healthcare services are the foundation of all AIHA partnership WWCs, but many individual centers have successfully adapted the women’s wellness model to better serve the needs of their own communities. In the port town of Odessa, Ukraine, high STI rates led center staff to focus on public education and outreach campaigns geared toward preventing the spread of these diseases, for example. Other centers identified children and adolescents as a high-risk group within their communities and developed a number of programs to address their needs. Partners in Iasi, Romania, set up an Internet-based chat line that local youth can use to ask physicians, nurses, and psychologists questions about STIs and other areas of concern.
