Dear Neil,
Thank you so much for sharing this timely report about limitations to access sensitive sexual health issues information and sexual health supplies and treatments among young people in developing countries
apparently the result of lock downs during the pandemic. Such oversights by well-meaning policy makers should be addressed quickly by healthcare officials.
With thanks and best regards, Daniel
