Enhancing IUCD training
Ensuring that health workers are better trained, and empowered to provide quality and safe reproductive health services to women and girls
An estimated 225 million women in low- and middle-income countries would like to delay or stop childbearing but are not using any method of contraception. (WHO2016)
Family planning reinforces people’s rights to determine the number and spacing of their children.
Research shows that as much as 30% of maternal deaths and 20% of child deaths could be averted if women space their pregnancies two years apart.
India’s Vision FP2020 showcases the plan to provide family planning to an additional 48 million women. We are supporting the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, by developing innovative reproductive health training models.
