Staff and volunteers from the Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA) recently visited the Titiana Community in western province, delivering mobile clinic services and conducting sexual and reproductive health outreach across the wider community, a statement from SIPPA said.
SIPPA’s clinical team provided essential services such as family planning and counselling, while awareness sessions focused on teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV.
These sessions highlighted root causes, risks, and prevention strategies, SIPPA said.
According to the statement, the outreach also included focus-group discussions with men, women, and young people, creating space for open dialogue and community engagement on key health issues.
Community members warmly welcomed the initiative, expressing appreciation for the opportunity to access vital health information and services, the statement said.
This activity was carried out separately from SIPPA’s humanitarian response efforts, while teams awaited deployment to Ranongga.
