While healthcare providers battle the troubling threat of COVID-19, ensuring the continuity of sexual and reproductive health services remains a top priority for IPPF. Over 5,000 service delivery points have already been forced to shut, but our Member Associations (MAs) have been quick to adapt to difficult circumstances. They are truly extraordinary – here are some of their stories:
