Enhanced PPFP training and provision is needed in rural areas, especially for PPIUD. Knowledge gaps and concerns about side effects were emphasized in FGDs. PPFP demand creation strategies tailored for the rural populace as well as rural provider training could improve PPFP access and uptake in rural government clinics of Rwanda.
