Figo header

These slide sets were created for use in a collaboration between FIGO and WHO, conducting dissemination workshops aiming to develop and standardise guidelines for family planning and contraception based on WHO recommendations and materials such as the Medical Eligibility Criteria and Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use (MEC and SPR). The MEC provides guidance on whether people with certain medical conditions can safely and effectively use specific contraceptive methods. The SPR answers specific questions about how to use various contraceptive methods.
