    CONTRACEPTIVE UPDATES

    Worlds population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050.India accounts for 18% of
    Worlds population.Annually- 5,29,000 maternal deaths & 50 million morbidity. In India,
    contraceptive prevalence is 48.3% .21% of all pregnancies resulting live births are
    unplanned.!!!If unmet need for contraception was met, we can avoid 52 million unwanted
    pregnancies 25-50% of maternal deaths An estimated 225 million women in developing
    countries would like to delay or stop child birthing process but are not using any method of
    contraception. Reasons for this include:limited choice of methods;limited access to
    contraception, particularly among young people, poorer segments of populations, or unmarried
    people;fear or experience of side-effects;cultural or religious opposition;poor quality of available
    services;users and providers bias gender-based barriers.The unmet need for contraception
    remains too high. This inequity is fuelled by both a growing population, and a shortage of family
    planning services.To meets this needs we must update the contraceptive measures and inventions
    of newer modalities. Contraceptive Options are LARCs- Etonogestrel implant, Progestogen-
    only injections, Levonorgestrel intrauterine systems, Copper intrauterine devices,Oral
    contraceptives- Combined oral contraceptive (COC) ,Progestogen-only pill (POP) Other
    combined methods- Contraceptive patch and Vaginal ring Other methods- Natural methods, Male
    & female condoms Diaphragm/Cap, Spermicides ,Permanent methods Male & female
    sterilisation etc.

    NEWER GUIDELINES OF NHM

    PROF DR J RUKUMANI, PRINCIPAL,CON, MTPG&RIHS

    Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health-RMNCH+A


    approach has been launches in 2013 and it essentially looks to address the major causes of
    mortality among women and children as well as the delays in accessing and utilizing health care
    and services. The RMNCH+A strategic approach has been developed to provide an
    understanding of continuum of care to ensure equal focus on various life stages. Priority
    interventions for each thematic area have been included in this to ensure that the linkages
    between them are contextualized to the same and consecutive life stage. It also introduces new
    initiatives like the Use of Score Card to track the performance, National Iron + Initiative to
    address the issue of anaemia across all age groups, Comprehensive Screening and Early
    interventions for defects at birth, diseases and deficiencies among children and adolescents. The
    RMNCH+A appropriately directs the States to focus their efforts on the most vulnerable
    population and disadvantaged groups in the country. It also emphasizes on the need to reinforce
    efforts in those poor performing districts that have already been identified as the high focus
    districts.
