SWHC’s holistic philosophy is based in the belief that illness is not always based in physical causes, but that environmental, cultural, social, and economic issues impact on health and wellbeing. The Centre recognises that all women have a right to be treated with dignity and respect in an environment which provides for privacy, confidentiality, informed consent, and safety.
