Family planning can avert nearly one-third of maternal
deaths and 10% of child mortality when couples space
their pregnancies more than two years apart [1]. Short intervals
between births are linked with higher maternal and
child mortality and morbidity [2]. Postpartum family planning
(PPFP) is the prevention of unintended and closely
spaced pregnancies through the first twelve months following
childbirth [1]. Postpartum women need a range of
effective contraceptive methods to be able to prevent an
unplanned pregnancy, within a short interval [1,2].
Among the options available, the multi-year cost of
the Copper T380A IUD makes it one of the most costeffective
contraceptive options available
