Up-to-date and evidence-based family planning guidelines help programs and providers offer quality services that are free from unnecessary requirements and medical barriers. The World Health Organization has issued and periodically updates global technical guidelines that cover how to provide contraceptive methods and to whom. National family planning and reproductive health programs can use the WHO global recommendations about contraceptive implants and other resources with international guidance as a basis for developing, reviewing, or updating their own national family planning guidelines on implants.
