We do believe that women have the right to good reproductive health and where appropriate, provide advice and access to contraception. We do not however, promote abortion.
“Only one of our hospitals currently offer contraceptive services and that includes the following: providing temporary contraceptive services like oral pills, intrauterine devices (IUD), implants (hormonal methods), male condoms.
“Where we work with the elderly affected by leprosy, our aim is to build self-worth and bring healing. We do not promote or engage in assistive dying.”
