The 2018 edition of the Handbook includes new WHO recommendations
that expand contraceptive choices. For example, WHO now recommends that
breastfeeding women can start progestogen-only pills or contraceptive implants
any time after childbirth. More contraceptive options are now included: ulipristal
acetate for emergency contraception; sub-cutaneous injection of DMPA; and the
progesterone-releasing vaginal ring. Also, guidance on starting ongoing contraception
following emergency contraception is provided. An important message throughout
is WHO’s recommendation that adolescent girls and young women are medically
eligible to use any contraceptive method. In addition, the Handbook highlights
opportunities for task sharing among providers to make contraceptive methods
more available. This edition also includes the latest WHO guidance on hormonal
contraception and HIV and advice for counselling clients at risk of HIV infection on
their contraceptive choices.
WHO encourages all national health systems and other organizations providing family
planning to consider this new edition of the Global Handbook a key document to
help ensure the quality and safety of family planning services.
WHO appreciates the contributions of the many people, named in the Acknowledgements,
who supported the updating and expanding this edition of the Handbook.
Also, WHO thanks the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center
for Communication Programs for management and the United States Agency for
International Development for financial and technical support of the Handbook.
