Isulong ang Kalusugang Sekswal
Breaking Taboos, Talking About Sexual Health

At a time when the public health paradigm is shifting toward a more integrated and holistic approach to patient care, the establishment of the first dedicated sexual health clinic in the Philippines represents a landmark advancement in the nation’s healthcare landscape. This pioneering initiative addresses a critical gap in reproductive and sexual well-being, moving beyond conventional obstetrics and gynecology to encompass a comprehensive range of clinical services. The clinic’s mission is founded on evidence-based protocols and a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that patient care is not only medically sound but also sensitive to the multifaceted needs of individuals and couples. It will serve as a beacon for advancing local clinical practice and public health education, offering specialized diagnostic capabilities, counseling services, and therapeutic interventions for a wide spectrum of sexual health concerns. This includes, but is not limited to, the prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, fertility preservation, and hormonal health, all delivered within a framework of compassionate, patient-centered care.

In this week’s episode, we will bridge the knowledge gap and foster interdisciplinary collaboration by sharing invaluable insights into the clinic’s operational framework, its epidemiological rationale, and the practical application of its unique service offerings. We will also aim to demystify the field of sexual health and provide a clear understanding of the accessible, confidential, and comprehensive care that is now available.

Our main speaker is Dr. Sherri Ann L. Suplido, who is the Chief of the Division of Sexual Health at the UP-PGH Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our reactor is Dr. Angela G. Sison-Aguilar, who holds the rank of Professor 3 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the UP College of Medicine and Philippine General Hospital. She is also a Board Member of the Asia Oceania Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology (2023-2025) and the Chair of SIG Endometriosis of the Asia Pacific Initiative for Reproduction (2025-2027). She also served as President of the Philippine Society for Reproductive Medicine (2021).

Join us in elevating the standard of sexual health services and contributing to a more informed, healthier community.

And together, we can stop preventable deaths!
