Only 32 percent of Mozambican women sought family planning services in 2020, against the 42 percent rate recorded in 2019. The data was revealed yesterday by the Head of the Family Planning Program, Alda Mahumana, during the national technical family planning meeting. However, the source said that the numbers rose again this year, with 41 percent coverage of women in the first quarter alone. The source also said that, although coverage remains below 50 percent, it tends to evolve, as in 2011, only 11 percent of women sought family planning services and, in 2015, coverage was already 25.3 percent. In the interaction with the press, Mahumana also ensured that health authorities reinforced the availability of contraceptives at the level of health facilities, in addition to that the authorities recommend the use of methods that last between three to 10 years, as a way to avoid frequent contact with health units.
