Every woman has her own reasons for wanting to delay or space her next pregnancy.

Maybe it's time to recover.

Maybe it's time to focus on your newborn.

Maybe it's time to return to school, grow your business, support your family—or simply enjoy this chapter of life.

Your reason is yours.

Your contraceptive choice should be yours, too.

Talk to a health provider about your postpartum family planning options.

Your future. Your choice. Your plan.

Before you leave the maternity ward, there are many things to remember.

Your baby's care.
Your own recovery.
Your follow-up appointment.

And one more important conversation:
What are your family planning options?

Ask your health provider about postpartum contraception and find out which method may be right for you.

Because planning for tomorrow can start today.

After birth, there's more to plan.

Recovery, newborn care, and family planning are all part of the postpartum journey.

Every contact with the health system, from pregnancy through postnatal care, is an opportunity to receive information, ask questions, and make informed decisions about family planning.

Because after birth, there's more to plan.

Having a baby is a life-changing experience.

For many women and couples, it is also a time to think about what they want for their family next.

When should we have another child?
Do we want to wait before another pregnancy?
Which contraceptive option fits our needs?

Immediate Postpartum Family Planning (IPPFP) helps make these conversations and choices part of quality maternity care.

Because postpartum care is about more than the baby.

It is about the mother, too.

What does Immediate Kangaroo Mother Care (iKMC) mean for a health facility?

It means strengthening the facility’s capacity to save and protect vulnerable newborn lives.

Through the Integrated RMNCH+ Project, iKMC services are being strengthened across Central Ethiopia, South Ethiopia, Sidama, Oromia, Amhara, and Addis Ababa.

For health facilities, this means:

🔹 Stronger newborn care capacity — equipping health workers with the skills, tools, and support to care for preterm and low-birth-weight babies.

🔹 Better facility readiness — providing essential equipment such as KMC chairs, electric beds, patient monitors, CPAP machines, and trolleys.

🔹 Family-centered care — recognizing parents, particularly mothers, as active partners in their newborn’s care.

🔹 Stronger health systems — embedding evidence-based newborn care within routine maternal and newborn services through collaboration with regional and zonal health authorities.

Every iKMC unit represents an investment not only in equipment and services, but in health workers, families, and stronger health facilities capable of giving vulnerable newborns the best possible start.
