Soroptimists work hard to ensure women and girls have food security and access to the highest attainable standard of healthcare.

Our health-focused projects range from building and refurbishing hospitals to providing medical supplies, conducting tests and screenings, and supporting the training of nurses and midwives. We address critical health issues such as malnutrition, cancer, AIDS, and water-borne diseases—factors that disproportionately affect women and children. Our priorities also include tackling the root causes of child mortality and improving access to primary healthcare. As a “Global Voice for Women”, we actively lobby for better healthcare systems at local and national levels and promote education on reproductive health and rights to empower women to make informed decisions about their health.
