Trust Reproductive Health Choices, a commercial brand of DKT Health Inc., has launched its latest initiative—a comprehensive website designed to provide Filipinos with reliable and accessible resources on sexual and reproductive health. Announced during a virtual event, the platform aims to become a central hub for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) information in the Philippines.
This mobile-friendly site emphasizes privacy and ease of use. It allows individuals to access information anonymously and navigate topics without judgment.
Key Features of the Website
The Trust RH Choices website introduces several innovative tools and resources tailored to meet users’ needs. A chatbot named ai-Thea offers empathetic and instant responses to frequently asked questions, making it easier for users to find answers without hesitation. The platform also includes interactive quizzes designed to help individuals determine the most suitable contraceptive methods for their needs, along with pregnancy assessment tools to explore early options.
To expand awareness, the website features digital magazines containing articles by experts and personal stories focused on reproductive health and wellness. Additionally, it includes a nationwide directory of clinics and stores that provide reproductive health services, ensuring users can locate support and resources nearby. These features collectively create a safe and approachable space for those seeking information on sensitive topics.
The virtual launch event was hosted by LGBTQIA+ advocate Miss Mela Habijan, who set an inclusive tone for the proceedings. Denise R. van Dijk, CEO and President of DKT Health Inc., opened the event with a focus on the platform’s mission. She stated, “The new Trust RH Choices website is not just a source of information; it’s a safe space for individuals to learn, ask questions and explore reproductive health topics free from judgment.”
A detailed video presentation provided an overview of the platform, emphasizing its user-friendly and mobile-compatible design.
Dr. Rica Cruz, a renowned sex and relationships therapist, delivered the keynote address. She discussed key challenges in the Philippines, including:
- High teenage pregnancy rates.
- Dependence on traditional contraceptive methods.
- Increasing HIV cases.
Dr. Cruz stressed the importance of platforms like this to combat stigma and equip the youth with trustworthy information. She remarked, “Investing in reproductive health education helps people and enables them to thrive. It’s not about encouraging sexual activity, but rather empowering them through continuous development without judgment.”
A Step Forward for Reproductive Health Literacy
As the largest contraceptive provider in the Philippines, Trust Reproductive Health Choices has reinforced its mission with this website. The initiative responds to the growing need for accessible and stigma-free reproductive health resources in the country.
By addressing sensitive topics through tools like ai-Thea and offering nationwide directories and educational content, the platform promotes reproductive health literacy and empowerment for individuals of all ages.
