Background: Malawi has a high maternal mortality and unmet need for family planning, which could be reduced by improving access to postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) insertion. Our objective is to describe the implementation of PPIUD services by 4 local organizations at 14 government health services across 10 districts in Malawi.
Methods: This program was a collaborative effort between the Malawi Ministry of Health's Reproductive Health Directorate and 4 supporting organizations.
Objective: The primary objective was to assess the effect of family planning interventions at two health facilities in Malawi on couple years of protection (CYP).
Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental design was used to compare CYP and uptake of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) between two intervention facilities (Area 25 Health Center and Kasungu District Hospital) and two nonintervention facilities (Mkanda Health Center and Dowa District Hospital). The interventions included community mobilization and demand generation for family planning, and training and mentoring of providers in LARC insertion.
