Following five years of implementation since January 2015, FIGO’s Postpartum Intrauterine Device (PPIUD) Initiative is now wrapping up project activities and fully handing over responsibility for postpartum family planning (PPFP) services in the country to our partner, the Obstetrical and Gynecological Society of Bangladesh (OGSB). The project ran in six centres, with three outside of the capital and three within Dhaka.
PPIUD is an invaluable option for women postpartum in low-resource settings as it can be inserted immediately after delivery of the baby, meaning that women do not need to make regular and often long journeys back to health facilities to receive contraception.
