Injected with Controversy: Sales and Administration of Injectable Contraceptives in Drug Shops in Uganda
Abstract: Informal drug shops are the first line of health care in many poor countries. In Uganda, these facilities commonly sell and administer the injectable contraceptive depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), even though they are prohibited by law from selling any injectable drugs. It is important to understand drug shop operators' current practices and their potential to provide DMPA to hard-to-reach populations.
