Technical Guideline on Contraceptive Services in Health Crisis After Disaster

Technical Reports and Document

The unavailability of contraceptive services in a health crisis heightened the vulnerabilities of women, especially in crisis situations. In crisis situations unintended pregnancies and the incidence of death and disability are related to complications of pregnancy and childbirth will increase. Under the leadership of the BKKBN, UNFPA has previously supported the development of a key document, the General Guideline on Contraceptive Services in Health Crisis after Disaster. In order to have handy and practical guidance, another key document, the Technical Guideline on Contraceptive Services in Health Crisis after Disaster was developed in close consultation with related stakeholders to meet the national and sub-national needs. This Technical Guideline covers practical steps for the stakeholders to take to ensure the availability of contraceptive services during the disaster preparedness phase, crisis response phase, as well as coordinated transition back to routine services to minimize the disruption in family planning services.

Guideline on Contraceptive Services in Health Crisis After Disaster

Technical Reports and Document

One of the challenges that occur during the recent emergencies in Indonesia is to accommodate family planning (FP) needs among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) during the disaster response phase (crisis situations). Women do not stop becoming pregnant or giving birth, therefore access to skilled birth attendance for safe delivery needs to be ensured. Apart from that, continued access and services to FP are also critical. It prevents unintended pregnancies and lowers the incidence of death and disability related to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. The unavailability of contraceptive services in a health crisis can also cause the spread of STI's/HIV. In order to accommodate FP needs in crisis situations, under the leadership of BKKBN, UNFPA developed a key document, the Guideline on Contraceptive Services in Health Crisis after Disaster that covers critical steps for the stakeholders to take during the disaster preparedness phase, crisis response phase, as well as coordinated transition back-to-routine services to minimize the disruption in FP services. This guideline will assist programme managers and related stakeholders in increasing access and availability of voluntary contraceptive services, in an effort to ensure the continuity of family planning and prevent unintended pregnancies in crisis situations.
