Stop reading and think of the services you would wish to provide for young people as part of an AYRFH service at your health post.

The Ethiopian AYFRH service guidelines say that the services that should be provided in AYFRH services include those which are presented in Box 10.5.

Box 10.5 Services intended to be provided in adolescent- and youth-friendly services

Information and counselling on sexual and reproductive health issues
Promotion of healthy sexual behaviours through various methods including peer education
Family planning information, counselling and methods including emergency contraceptive methods
Condom promotion and provision
Testing services: pregnancy, HIV counselling and testing
Management of STIs
Abortion and post-abortion care
Antenatal care (ANC), delivery, postnatal care (PNC) and pregnant mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services
Appropriate referral linkage between facilities at different levels.

Stop reading and think of your experience. Looking at the list of the services in Box 10.5, is there any service that you can't provide at your level?

In the previous sessions in this Module you have learned how to provide most of these services. In Study Session 11 you will learn how to provide care during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. If you feel unsure about your ability to provide the services, you should re-read the relevant sessions. Make a note to ask your Tutor about any remaining uncertainties.
