Expanding equity measurements of family planning beyond wealth status and contraceptive use

A mobile clinical outreach team from Marie Stopes, a specialised sexual reproductive health and family planning organization on a site visit to Rabai hospital a rural area in the coastal region of Kenya, where they offer many sexual reproductive health services, including the full range of family planning options, emergency contraception, pre- and post natal care, and cervical cancer screening and treatment. The main activity at Rabai hospital was implants of a five year contraceptive solution for women.

Despite progress, the vision of the International Conference on Population and Development to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health services, including contraception, remains unfulfilled. Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development acknowledges the continuing need for sexual reproductive health and contraception by including two goals with targets aimed at universal access to contraceptive services. Realizing these goals will require greater focus and investment, to understand and address the barriers that millions of women and girls currently at risk of an unwanted pregnancy face in accessing and using voluntary family planning.
