Clinical Services

At the heart of HDI’s work on SRHR is its Centers for Health and Rights in Kicukiro and Nyakabanda, including clinical services. The Centers for Health and Rights offer stigma-free and SRHR-friendly clinical services, established to reach the most vulnerable populations in Rwanda with accurate and free information and services.

The Centers offer screening for HIV/AIDS and STIs, pregnancy testing, advice on family planning, emergency contraceptives, pre and post-abortion counseling, support for those experiencing gender-based violence, and referral and legal aid for safe abortion. The staff at our clinics are trained to provide stigma-free services and are welcoming of marginalized groups. However, we also receive many other clients, such as vulnerable groups like teenage mothers, domestic workers and adolescents, who know that HDI provides quality services free of discrimination.

HDI has also used the Centers as an effective way to generate data and testimonies, which inform HDI’s advocacy initiatives and training materials. The Centers conduct outreach campaigns to ensure that even beneficiaries living in the most rural areas get access to accurate SRHR information. HDI has partnered with other community-based organizations, civil society organizations, and public/private health facilities to be able to refer clients to services that HDI does not offer.
