Emergency Contraceptive Pills Registration Status by Country
Women’s access to ECPs is significantly influenced by the availability of EC products in their country. Many dedicated products – those that are packaged and labeled for EC use specifically – exist, but are only accessible to women if at least one product is registered and/or imported in their country. The ECP Registration Status fact sheet provides an overview of ECP availability by country based on three designations – at least one product registered, no registered product but current or previously imported product, and no registered or imported product.
