Proposed New Mission

To meet the reproductive and sexual health needs of adolescent and young people in Ondo State of Nigeria 


Problem Area

The number of young people accessing YFS in health facilities visited per month was also found to range from none to  tens in some instances. Of this number, the proportion that actually accessed SRH services ranged between 9.9% and 50%. The reason attributed for the choice of provider facilities by majority of the respondents (37.6%) was affordability, followed closely by the disposition and attitude of health care personnel (31.9%), and least by the presence of youth friendly services in health facilities (12.5%).The number of young people accessing YFS in health facilities visited per month was also found to range from none to  tens in some instances.
