I am Jayasili living in a village called Hawa Eeliya in Nuwara-Eliya. After the birth of my first child, we decided that we needed some time before we had our next. Therefore, we asked our close friends and trusted neighbours advice on what the best family planning method should be. But we were still confused on which method to choose. So we decided to visit the Nuwara-Eliya FPA Sri Lanka Suwa Sewa centre for necessary advice. My partner and I were educated on what the ideal spacing between two children should be and after taking into consideration our job situation and age we decided on the best contraceptive method for ourselves. It has been 3 years since this took place and I am thankful to FPA Sri Lanka for the advice given as we were able to plan our family according to our needs.
I am U. K. Thushari Sandamali and I have 3 children. My third child is just 1 1/2 years old. I am 29 and i gave birth to my first at the age of 20. Ever since then I have used a family planning method to maintain the ideal spacing between each birth. The injectable method is good and I have experienced no discomfort.
I am Dhinoma Krishmali, 35 years old. I got to know about FPA Suwa Sewa Centre in Matara through my neighbour. I am a mother of 2 and my husband works as a laborer, therefore we have financial difficulties. When I visited the clinic to receive my injectable family planning method, I was advised that free testing for breast and cervical cancer, blood pressure check and other health related services were on offer. I had anxiety with regards to doing a cervical cancer screening but after speaking to a nurse I realised that these fears were unfounded. I immediately had both cancer screening tests done free of charge and have been receiving the injectable family planning method from the clinic since then too. The clinic offers quick and accurate testing services for which I am grateful to.
My name is Suhanthini from Batticoloa. I am 30 year old mother of two children. A boy of 4 and a girl of 2 1/2 years old. My husband works for a daily wage of only Rs. 450 which is not sufficent for sustaining a large family. Due to the family planning method introduced to me by the FPA suwa sewa center I was able to safeguard my health and well-being and manage my family affairs successfully.
