Tuvalu
Family Planning Australia has worked with the Tuvalu Family Health Association since 2012. We have supported Tuvalu through education programs to promote sustainable sexual and reproductive health outcomes, and provided capacity building training on disability inclusion in reproductive and sexual health. In 2019, we will begin implementing a cervical cancer screening and treatment programme across Tuvalu.
