The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Population Affairs, announced nearly $3 million in new funding to bolster training and technical assistance for the nationwide network of Title X family planning providers. Today’s funding follows the sexual and reproductive health action plan HHS announced earlier this week in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to take away the right to safe and legal abortion care.
“This is a critical moment in history. How we respond speaks to how we view the rights, dignity and well-being of women everywhere. Today’s announcement will help bolster our providers and help give them additional tools to support patients. This is a moment of crisis in health care and we will do everything within the legal limit of the law to reach patients and support providers.” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra.
