In the Philippines, instead of being encouraged, personal birth control and safe-sex initiatives are still often spoken about in hushed tones and with unnecessary self-consciousness. Dima wants to change the conversation into one without embarrassment.

Dima recognizes multiple factors that get in the way of proper sexual health care — education, affordability, accessibility, and social stigma. We hope to create safe spaces for these topics, bringing sexual and reproductive health into Filipinos’ everyday lives.

Acquiring sexual health care products and services in the Philippines shouldn’t have to be so awkward and expensive.

Filipino cultural attitudes about topics related to sex make open discussion on sexual health seem almost forbidden. There is a lingering distrust of perfectly acceptable generic-brand equivalents of sexual health products.

Dima wants to make sensible and affordable sexual health options available throughout the country. As an online pharmacy in the Philippines, we want to streamline the process of doctor’s consultations, prescriptions, and pharmacy purchases via e-commerce so that people can get what they need quickly and safely.
