Why Contraceptive Innovation?
Despite the availability of various contraceptive methods, more than 200 million women in developing countries want to avoid or delay pregnancy yet are not using an effective family planning method.

Innovative solutions are needed in the areas of product development, registration, pricing, and introduction to address these barriers.
