Leveraging telemedicine to explore contraceptive use and attitudes among refugee women: an observational cross-sectional analysis
Women seeking refugee status who visited Sehat Kahani e-clinics depend substantially on contraception, with a preference for shorter-term options. Consumption of contraceptives was enhanced by collaborative decision-making and availability of SRH services, while it was hampered by a lack of education and healthcare control by husbands. Improving SRH outcomes for remote refugees confronting cultural hurdles is possible through telemedicine by overcoming these gaps.
