A Collaborative approach by The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) & The Obstetrical and Gynecological Society of Bangladesh (OGSB) To address the post-partum contraceptive needs of women by institutionalizing the practice of offering immediate post-partum Intra-Uterine Device services (IUD) in six teaching hospitals in Bangladesh. The PPIUD initiative aims to address the

postpartum contraceptive needs of women by training community midwives, health workers, doctors and delivery unit staff in postpartum IUD counselling and insertion. The initiative was initially piloted in 2013 in Sri Lanka in 6 teaching hospitals before scaling up in January 2015 to include 12 more hospitals in Sri Lanka, and 6 teaching hospitals in each of Tanzania, India, Kenya, Nepal and Bangladesh. The initiative will strengthen the capacity of community midwives to counsel women on the benefits of postpartum contraception, in particular IUDs. It will also support health care providers and managers to regularly review and improve the performance on postpartum IUD services.
