Dear IBP Colleagues,
Please see the statement on Family Planning Services during the Covid-19 pandemic from FIGO.
Key Messages below:

2. Self-care family planning methods should be promoted and supplied to women and men proactively
3. Barriers to accessing contraception need to be lifted
4. Implement telemedicine using mobile phones and social media as an adjunct to improving information and access to contraception
5. We need to anticipate and address likely supply chain needs and challenges
6. Health care workers must be provided adequate Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
