A local period tracker application has been launched by the Department of Health and concerned agencies to help provide young Filipino girls with accurate information about their menstrual health.
In localizing the app, DOH said a team consulted with girls living in different contexts in the Philippines, including indigenous peoples, out-of-school children, and children with disabilities. The Australian government, meanwhile, also provided support for the localization of the app in the Philippines as part of its AU$ 48 million Indo-Pacific Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights COVID-19 Surge Response.
“We recognize the need of adolescent girls to access accurate information about their menstrual health. We are happy to have the Oky Philippines app as a new digital platform that can help them make informed, healthy choices for themselves,” she said.
