Nantege Mariam, Turyasingura Daniel & Dr Atuhairwe
Undergraduate obstetrics and gynaecology lecture deck on contraception and family planning, presented by Nantege Mariam, Turyasingura Daniel and Dr Atuhairwe. Introduces contraception definitions and family planning as a basic right, reviews global, African and Ugandan contraceptive-use statistics and unmet need, and walks through pre-contraception assessment and counselling. Classifies methods by effectiveness (first-tier sterilization, implants and IUDs; second-tier hormonal methods), then details each option — combined pills, patches and vaginal rings; progestin-only pills; DMPA injectables; subdermal implants (Jadelle, Implanon, Norplant, Sino-implant); and copper-bearing and levonorgestrel IUDs — with WHO MEC eligibility categories, indications, contraindications, non-contraceptive health benefits and side effects, plus emergency-contraception indications.
