Dr. Peter Igogo, a seasoned medical practitioner, shed light on the complex intersection of law and medicine, particularly in the realm of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services in Kenya. Drawing from his two decades of experience in the country, Dr. Igogo highlighted the challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients alike.

He emphasized the need for legislators to gain firsthand insights into the realities of SRHR issues by visiting communities and witnessing the experiences of victims and medical professionals. This firsthand exposure would enable policymakers to craft informed and effective legislation.

Dr. Igogo also stressed the importance of training and sensitizing young health professionals to equip them with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive SRHR services. He shared inspiring success stories resulting from the collaboration between the legal support network and medical practitioners in Kenya.

However, Dr. Igogo expressed concern over the strong opposition to SRHR services, which ultimately harms those who rely on them. He remains hopeful for the future, believing that with continued advocacy and collaboration, significant progress can be made in advancing reproductive health and rights in Kenya.
