The global unmet need for contraception continues to be unacceptably high at 218 million. The vast majority of these are women living in low and middle income countries, with a particularly high unmet need in the postpartum period. The FIGO PPIUD initiative demonstrated that it is feasible to embed counselling on contraception and insertion of PPIUD in maternity services. Implementation of these services was greatly enhanced by ensuring that counselling was culturally sensitive and appropriately given through specifically trained individuals, that task sharing was maximized in order to increase access, and that a high fundal placement was achieved resulting in low expulsion rates. Financing for contraception in LMICs is currently precarious and vulnerable to international politics. PPIUD is highly cost-effective. Expansion of contraception services including PPIUD has the potential to impact positively on climate change and a country's development profile if expanded on a large scale.
