Options for Sexual Health previously said he could not continue operating without a funding increase
The organization in charge of operating 52 sexual and reproductive health clinics says it has an agreement with the provincial government that will keep its services in place for the remainder of the year.
Options for Sexual Health warned in December that it would be forced to close most of its clinics without an increase of core funding from the Ministry of Health. The organization, which has provided contraceptives, sexually transmitted infection testing, cervical screenings, and consultations about pregnancies and abortions since 1961, had not received an increase to its funding for 12 years.
In a Feb. 11 statement, Options said it had reached an agreement with the ministry to keep its clinics open in 2025
