At WHOM International we believe that every woman & girl has the right to quality healthcare & autonomy over her own health, no matter what her circumstances.
Women are displaced for many reasons - conflict, environment, culture, politics, trafficking, homelessness - leaving them vulnerable & without access to clinical services.
OUR MEDICAL MISSIONS
Our Volunteer Clinicians & Medical team provide specialised female healthcare in all of the areas women can need support:
Menstruation / Peri Menopause / Menopause
Cervical screening
Breast Checks
Post Partum care
Family Planning
Treatment & recovery from physically abusive practices
Sexually Transmitted Diseases [STDs]
Painful conditions such as thrush, cystitis
Pelvic Floor & bladder health
Support to diagnose other conditions e.g. endometriosis
WORKING IN CLINICS & WITH OUR PARTNERS
WHOM International collaborates with Partners on-the-ground, to provide clinics to displaced women.
We also provide the glue between patients requiring specific medical referrals or to other NGO services using our network of medical contacts.
KNOWLEDGE SHARING
We believe that women should be empowered with knowledge about their own bodies.
When they are ripped from their communities, they lose access to knowledge sharing with other women.
Our clinical work allows our practitioners to engage with women on a one-to-one basis to explain & show in order to share knowledge on the female body
We also collaborate with our Partners to provide health outreach
sessions, workshops & discussion events in safe places, to show,
share & demonstrate medical information in a group setting
