The Impact of Freedom on Fertility Decline

Campbell M, Prata N, Potts M

Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care, 2013

Introducing Misoprostol for the Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage in Zimbabwe

2013

The Zimbabwe Ministry of Health and Child Care and VSI conducted an operations research to address maternal deaths associated with postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This brief provides strong evidence that introducing misoprostol as an alternative uterotonic when oxytocin is not available can effectively expand uterotonic coverage to women delivering in health facilities.

Population and Climate Change: Empowering 100 Million Women

Graves A, Potts M

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, 2013

The results demonstrate that misoprostol, a safe and effective treatment option for incomplete abortion and miscarriage, brings PAC services closer to women in need at all levels of the health system.

Meeting Rural Demand: A Case for Combining Community-Based Distribution and Social Marketing of Injectable Contraceptives in Tigray, Ethiopia

Prata N, Weidert K, Fraser A, Gessessew A

PloS ONE, 2013

Background

In Sub-Saharan Africa, policy changes have begun to pave the way for community distribution of injectable contraceptives but sustaining such efforts remains challenging. Combining social marketing with community-based distribution provides an opportunity to recover some program costs and compensate workers with proceeds from contraceptive sales. This paper proposes a model for increasing access [...]
