[Full Text: Programs Can Keep Down Costs of IUD Services , 4 p., 71 kb]

Summary: This document discusses a number of ways in which family planning programs can provide IUD services at modest cost per client, including training a core group of IUD providers; permitting trained allied health workers to provide IUD services; eliminating the need for routine laboratory tests before IUD insertion; using high-level disinfection to process used instruments; using new or clean examination gloves during IUD insertion and removal; eliminating unnecessary routine follow-up visits; and offering immediate postpartum services.
