Contraceptive injections are the most preferred family planning method used by Kenyan women.
595,703 women in Kenya are using Family Planning (FP) Injections, according to the 2022 Economic Survey data released on Thursday.
Permanent family planning methods recorded low uptake with the number of women undergoing Sterilization Bilateral Tubal Ligation decreasing to 3,616 while male Sterilization Vasectomy recorded 248 clients.
Family planning is a human right and is indispensable to the realization of all sexual and reproductive rights.
According to the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, the injection lasts for 8 or 13 weeks and it is the most preferred because women do not have to think about contraception every time they have sex.
