Promoting Postpartum and Post-Abortion Family Planning: Challenges and Opportunities
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An estimated 222 million women in low and middle income countries would like to delay or stop childbearing but are not using any method of contraception. Given the impetus provided by Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) to enable 120 million more women and girls to access modern contraceptives by 2020, it is urgent to identify women in need, better understand the obstacles they face in accessing contraceptive services and their preferred methods, and recommend actions to accelerate meeting their contraceptive needs. Among women and girls with an unmet need for family planning are those who have recently given birth or undergone an abortion. Yet, in many settings, women are not using any contraceptive methods following childbirth or abortion, and the reasons for this low use are not well understood. At the same time, effective postpartum family planning programmes are lacking, and the provision of post-abortion family planning (PAFP) services has been seriously neglected in several countries. Despite their strategic importance, topics related to postpartum and post-abortion family planning have received relatively little attention.
