Ensuring Privacy and Confidentiality in Reproductive Health Services: a Training Module and Guide

This [training] guide considers the constraints to protecting privacy in low-resource settings and provides an evidence-based rationale that services will be more effective if resources are invested in ensuring the privacy rights of clients. [This guide] is designed to enable clinic staff, service providers, and supervisors to better support and protect the right of clients to privacy and confidentiality. It is divided into three parts: a training module, job aids and background document that provide extensive documentation and a list of resources related to privacy and confidentiality, as well as useful information for supervisors and policy makers who are responsible for developing and implementing organizational or government policies regarding private and confidential health services.
