In the corona pandemic, many people suddenly lost access because they could no longer go to doctors, hospitals and family planning clinics. The WHO recommends improving access to contraceptives and selling them directly through pharmacies, for example. In addition, people should be able to get the funds in larger quantities so that they last for several months.
The WHO lists condoms, birth control pills, some diaphragms and spermicides, as well as the progestin contraceptive DMPA, known as a quarterly injection. It no longer needs to be in the muscle, but can be safely injected under the skin. So users could manage it themselves.
In the first year of the pandemic, 70 percent of countries worldwide reported that their family planning was initially limited. This has increased the risk of unwanted pregnancies, the WHO writes. She has not provided statistics on unwanted pregnancies during the pandemic.
