This guideline updates and replaces the recommendations in all previous WHO guidelines on abortion car

Las presentes directrices contienen nuevas recomendaciones que se han consolidado aquí de forma integrada con las recomendaciones ya existentes que permanecen sin cambios y con las que se han actualizado tras una nueva evaluación en que se han utilizado los mismos métodos rigurosos, tanto para las recomendaciones nuevas como para las recomendaciones actualizadas

this Service Delivery brief provides evidence-based strategies that can help support drug shops and pharmacies in providing a wider variety of family planning methods and information. Evidence shows that with training and support, pharmacy and drug shop staff can facilitate the use of a broad range of modern contraception, especially in areas where the unmet need is high, access to family planning services is poor, and health worker shortages and other barriers prevent women, men, and youth from accessing family planning services Availabe in English, French, Spanish and Portugues

Фонд ООН в области народонаселения (ЮНФПА) стремится достичь трех изменяющих мир результатов к 2030 году - кра��нему сроку достижения Целей в Области Устойчивого Развития. Эти цели таковы: положить конец неудовлетворенной потребности в планировании семьи, искоренить гендерное насилие, включая такие вредные практики, как калечащие операции на женских половых органах и детские браки, а также устранить все случаи предотвратимой материнской смертности. Этот анализ показывает, как пандемия COVID-19 может серьезно подорвать прогресс в достижении этих целей.

Summary chart of recommendations on medical management of abortion

3rd edition. The 2018 edition of the Handbook includes new WHO recommendations that expand contraceptive choices. Also, guidance on starting ongoing contraception following emergency contraception is provided.

Globally, it is estimated that 128.6 million people are currently in need of humanitarian assistance. Of these individuals, approximately one-fourth are women and girls of reproductive age. Although family planning is one of the most life-saving, empowering, and cost-effective interventions for women and girls, it remains an overwhelming gap in emergency responses due to a lack of prioritisation and funding. Consequently, many women and girls are forced to contend with an unmet need for family planning and unplanned pregnancies in addition to the traumas of conflict, disaster, and displacement

DHS Methodological Report No. 20

This study used Service Provision Assessment (SPA) and Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from Haiti, Malawi, and Tanzania to compare traditionally used additive methods with a data reduction method—principal component analysis (PCA).
We scored the quality of health facilities with three approaches (simple additive, weighted additive, and PCA) for two constructs: quality of services, with only facilities-level data, and quality of care, which incorporates observation and client data. We ranked facilities as high, medium, or low quality based on their scores. Our results indicated that the rankings change with the scoring methodology. There was more consistency in the rankings of facilities by the simple additive and PCA methods than the weighted additive and PCA-based rankings. This may be due to the low factor loadings and little variance explained by the first component in the PCA. We aggregated facility scores to their respective DHS clusters (Haiti, Malawi) or regions (Tanzania) and geographically linked them to women interviewed in DHS surveys to test associations between the use of family planning services and the quality environment, as measured with each index.
