Assessing the Commercial Viability of Long-Acting and Permanent Contraceptive Methods
This report looks at two key questions relevant to increasing availability of long-acting and permanent methods (LA/PMs) worldwide: (1) How can LA/PMs, which require trained providers and clinical settings for administration, be made more widely accessible even in rural or other low-resource settings? and (2) How can sustainable LA/PM provision be achieved? Costs of providing IUDs compared with other methods are provided from a number of countries.
