Abstract:
Injectable contraception has been available in the private sector in India since 1986, but is not accessible to public sector clients. With support from the USAID-funded Health Policy Project, the Policy Unit of the National Institute of Health and Family Welfare conducted a stakeholder analyses to understand the barriers to introducing injectables in the package of methods available through the public sector. This descriptive brief combines primary and secondary data to provide a status update and policy analysis to stakeholders advocating for policy change to expand the basket of contraception in the public sector.
