Counseling guidelines	Suggested responses
Find out what transportation problems the woman has	Do you have a way of getting to the clinic? How do you usually get to shops and other places? Do you have any relatives that could drive you to the clinic?
If she has no relatives that can help, suggest asking a friend or neighbor to drive her?	Our community has a long tradition of helping one another Do you have any friends or neighbors that could drive you to the clinic? Maybe you could help with childcare sometime in return?
If she is used to taking the bus, provide bus route information. Offer two bus passes	There is a good bus service to your clinic. I can tell you which bus to take I could give you a couple of bus passes if that would help
If there is no support available and she is not comfortable taking the bus, offer to arrange taxicab transportation	We could arrange for a taxi to take you to the clinic and bring you home again if that would help
