World Contraception Day (WCD)

Marie Stopes Marks World Contraception Day

He made this call when marking World Contraception Day (WCD) today. Dr Ayres said: “To secure a healthy future for us all, we must invest in family planning supplies and services both in Papua New Guinea and around the world and double down on our commitment to support people in achieving full access to reproductive health services,”

Launched in 2007, WCD is commemorated each year on 26 September. The day was set aside to help raise awareness on contraception to enable young people and women of reproductive age make informed choices on their sexual and reproductive health.
