COVID-19 and Family Planning

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the provision of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) and shifted how FP/RH knowledge management is conducted and disseminated. The FP/RH workforce worked tirelessly to ensure access to essential health care to women and their families, including exploring easier ways to obtain and administer contraceptive methods at home. Although the pandemic resulted in many disruptions to family planning services, it also led to some positive adaptations to FP policies, programs, and services around the world that could be applied in other contexts—and that could have lasting implications beyond the pandemic era.
