The Women's Health Care Foundation seeks to expand women's health care services "beyond the womb." Established in 1980, the Foundation works to meet the diverse health needs of Philippine women throughout their life cycle, broadening services beyond the traditional maternal-child health programs to include services for adolescents and postmenopausal women; counseling on sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS; information on breast cancer screening and domestic violence; and information for couples seeking contraception as well as couples seeking counseling on infertility. The Foundation operates three health clinics, plus numerous community outreach programs. In addition, the Foundation is involved in advocacy efforts to promote improved reproductive health rights for women.
