What we do through @InnovateFP at @fhi360 with support from @USAIDGH:
1⃣Refine existing contraceptive methods
2⃣Respond to product-related issues for existing methods
3⃣Develop new #familyplanning methods to address current method-related reasons and fill gaps
#NextGenFP
A new episode of Well, Now from @SlatePodcasts dropped just in time for #WorldContraceptionDay. Hear Dr. Kavita Nanda of @fhi360 on the need for #contraceptive innovations, like the biodegradable implant Casea S that her team is studying. Listen now! slate.com/podcasts/well-now/…
ALT I think that there is definitely a need for new methods, because I think that we don’t have methods that meet the needs of everybody. You can go to the grocery store and you can buy 18 different kinds of orange juice, but there are only a certain number of contraceptives. —Dr. Kavita Nanda, Director of Medical Research, FHI 360, on the need for contraceptive innovation as a key to equitable access
Just before #WorldContraceptionDay, @em_hoppes of @fhi360 spoke with @OnPointRadio on the need for improved coordination & funding in menstrual health research, with a special focus on questions about how #contraceptive use can impact periods. Listen now! wbur.org/onpoint/2024/09/24/…
Interested in how #contraception can impact the #menstrual cycle? Then YOU are a piece of the puzzle!
