Check Out This New One Dollar Contraceptive Set To Make Family Planning Easier
Report By BBC:
An agreement has been signed which will make contraceptive injections available to women in 69 of the world's poorest countries. It is an injection - but not as you know it.
The special device, with a smaller needle and no traditional syringe, will be sold at just $1 a unit.
An agreement - signed in the past few days - will make the new way of giving contraceptive injections available to women in 69 of the world's poorest countries.
The deal has been reached between the Gates Foundation, the drug company Pfizer and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation.
Soré Néimatou, 20, has a boyfriend, and is visiting a family planning clinic in the capital Ouagadougou.
"I don't want to get pregnant," she says. "I want to get married first."
She has never used contraception before, and is given a choice of methods. She opts for the new injection - called Sayana Press.
'More acceptable'
The pre-packaged device means there is no need for health workers to prepare a syringe.
