ABSTRACT

The government of Malawi has officially adopted revised guidelines on contraception that reduce restrictions on

injectables, eliminate spousal consent requirements, and make contraceptives available to all persons of

reproductive age, regardless of marital status. In December 1993, the Brazilian Senate unanimously approved a bill

requiring the state to provide methods, means and information on conception and contraception to all Brazilians.

The law permits male and female sterilization, and requires that those considering sterilization must be informed that

it is irreversible and must give their written consent. The bill must now be debated by the other house of the

Parliament. After considerable protest about the price, the cost of Norplant charged to public clinics in the US will

be sharply cut. The price, including doctor's fees, had been $700, the highest in the world. The manufacturers in

the US said that the high cost had been intended to prevent Norplant being viewed as a product for public sector

clients and low-income users. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 4066-06)
