Influence of Movement Restriction During the COVID-19 Pandemic on Uptake of DMPA-SC and Other Injectable Contraceptive Methods in Nigeria
The results suggest that promoting self-administration of DMPA-SC was essential in maintaining contraceptive access when conventional healthcare services were disrupted. This study highlights the importance of adaptable healthcare delivery models, such as self-administration, in ensuring SRH service continuity during global crises. Additionally, it underscores the need for resilient supply chain management to secure contraceptive availability in emergencies, providing critical insights for policymakers and healthcare providers aiming to enhance SRH service resilience in future public health challenges.
