The Lagos State Government and ARDA Development Communications Incorporated have launched a toll-free reproductive health helpline aimed at supporting women and girls facing unplanned pregnancies and reducing maternal deaths linked to unsafe abortions.
The initiative, known as the No Stigma, Total Support and Sustained Action (NTS) Project, features ITUNU, a free and anonymous Interactive Voice Response (IVR) platform accessible through 08000017777. The service provides confidential reproductive health information, counseling and referrals to healthcare and support providers.
