SAVE THE DATE: Stop Stockouts Project launches access to contraceptives in South African public health clinics report

We cordially invite you to join us for a hybrid launch of the Stop Stockouts’ new research report entitled “Stop Stockouts Project: Access to contraceptives in South African public health clinics between April and June 2022.”  

The event will be held on Tuesday, 30 August 2022 from 11 am until 12.30 pm.

Key findings from the report indicate that contraceptives now represent the biggest share of medicines stockouts in the public healthcare system. Moreover, the impact of these contraceptive stockouts falls squarely on women and girls. This Women’s Month, the Stop Stockouts Project draws attention to the ongoing problem of contraceptive stockouts across the country and calls on government to ensure a reliable supply of preferred contraceptives.

More details about the research and launch will follow soon.
