RH Alerts is a new, short-term initiative to provide the global reproductive health community with transparent and timely updates related to impacts of wider ecosystem funding and policy shifts.

Having correct information is essential to the global reproductive health community’s ability to make decisions and take action to ensure continued access to supplies for women, girls, and their families. This resource will curate and share information from RHSC’s Members and other with other global actors, to ensure the community has the most up-to-date and accurate information about emerging and time-sensitive topics.

RH Alerts were developed in response to the fast-changing global ecosystem and the critical need to ensure equal access to accurate information. Therefore, this initiative will be maintained by RHSC for a finite period of time, as needed.
