Patent and proprietary medicine vendors (PPMVs), drug shops and chemists are the most preferred outlets for 62 per cent of Nigerian women to access family

Another area highlighted by the study is the fact that many women bypassed their nearest outlets to obtain family planning from those farther from their homes. Some travel more than three kilometres to access family planning services.

He said, “We know the issue of privacy and confidentiality play a big role here. Family planning providers’ bias can be an issue here. A woman will not walk away from you if she knows her information is safe with you and that can only be assured by training and re-training of family planning providers.”

“Quality of care is highly emphasised as part of the findings of this study. Women look for quality services and that means we need to, on a continuous basis, strengthen the capacity of family planning service providers, train and retrain them on the need to not be biased and on confidentiality so that they will be able to provide quality services.
