On 25 December 2011, a dissemination workshop took place at Dar El Markabat/Cairo, on the results of the assessment of the three piloted New Contraceptive Methods.
In an effort to achieve one of its key results to have a choice of quality contraceptives for individuals who want to space or prevent pregnancy at the right time in the right place, the UNFPA/MoHP project has managed to introduce 3 new contraceptive methods, to MoHP cafeteria in Menofeya on pilot basis to be expanded to other governorates.
The piloted contraceptives are emergency pills, vaginal spermicidal suppositories and monthly injections. National Pharmaceutical companies supplied the methods and provided the required training to service providers under the management of Strengthening Contraceptive Commodity Security project. The assessment tested the acceptability and satisfaction of both service providers and clients to the new methods. According to the assessment, the three new methods especially the monthly injections have high acceptability by service providers and FP users. The three new FP method mix could contribute in adding new FP clients as well as method shift due to less side effects. Capitalizing on adding the three new methods in the FP method mix cafeteria could effectively reduce unmet needs and discontinuation rates.
