What services can each type of health facility provide?
There are often questions about where to find various contraceptive services. First, it must be understood that some facilities cannot provide all methods of contraception. For example, in the case of IUD insertion or implant, the provider must have specific skills. Therefore, it depends on whether the facility has personnel trained in these specific skills. However, contraceptive injections are a general skill and can be provided, and the injections are also available for purchase in pharmacies to be taken to a facility for administration. The provision of each contraceptive method can be roughly categorized by facility as follows:
☺ Service available ☺☺ Various products available
✓ Service available only at hospitals with trained personnel or available in some pharmacies only
✖ No service available
Can individuals under 18 years old receive contraceptive services on their own? They can request services by themselves except in cases of physical or mental disability (no age limit), a guardian must sign for approval and female sterilization (in case of marriage), the husband must sign for approval.
