Limited health knowledge and often a lack of access to critical health services and products can lead to a belief in dangerous myths and misconceptions, particularly around reproductive health, posing a significant health threat to at-risk women. Because of this, some women have been found to suffer from anemia and increased exposure to various illnesses, including sexually transmitted and other communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and tuberculosis. Women who complete the HERhealth program are empowered to make better decisions regarding their personal health and that of their families through access to fact-based information and available health services. In addition, awareness about key topics such as childbirth, infant care, family planning and clinical services has increased.
Through ongoing education and access to available health services, products and support provided by the HERhealth program, Hansoll is improving the health and wellbeing of its employees and their families.
