When the rains come, roads can become difficult or even impossible to use.For some of us living in areas where healthcare facilities may be far away, this can make it harder to access healthcare services. But does this mean we have to be locked out of healthcare? #BhespCares

Period pain is common. But severe pain that keeps coming back or interferes with your everyday life shouldn’t be ignored.Your period pain makes you miss work school or activities or you need painkillers just to get through the day it’s time to get checked. #BHESPCares
