Information from UN Dept Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division 2007 and Population Reference Bureau 2008 World Population Data Sheet.
A total of 1000 LNG IUS has been provided to Marie Stopes International in Ethiopia since 2009 and has been incorporated into sites of their existing service delivery network of 20 clinics. This donation contributes to MSI’s objective of offering safe, convenient, long-acting reversible family planning options for women in underserved communities. The LNG IUS is also currently being incorporated into MSI’s outreach strategy in Ethiopia and this will likely increase availability and access to the method even further.
