Marie Stopes Zambia

Children by choice, not chance. We offer a full range of family planning services Despite recent improvements in the modern contraceptive prevalence rate in Zambia, there is still a discrepancy in meeting the needs of the population with a current unmet need for family planning services at 21%. The Family health centre is located in Kabulonga, providing affordable contraception and sexual and reproductive healthcare. We also have private providers, trained and supported by Marie Stopes Zambia, delivering services under the BlueStar brand. Our outreach teams based in urban centres enhance the capacity of the Ministry of Health and offer more choice, by supplementing the short-term methods of contraception often offered by the public health system, with long-acting and permanent methods. Our rural outreach teams meanwhile travel the length and breadth of the country to take our services to clients who have the greatest need for family planning but often cannot access services
