DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

Salama Centre for Global Family Health seeks to improve access to family planning services among women in underserved communities in Uganda.

Their model seeks to scale up distribution, access, and use of Sayana Press contraception through the private health networks in Jinja District. The private health networks will be recruited and trained to administer Sayana Press to women seeking contraception and train women to self-inject at the comfort of their homes.
