Title: Lessons in Mixology: FP and MNH


1
Lessons in Mixology FP and MNH
  • Catharine McKaig Holly Blanchard, ACCESS-FP
  • October 5, 2007

2
Session Objectives
  • Be able to describe the dilemma of postpartum
    family planning.
  • Be able to compare/contrast maternal newborn
    priorities and family planning priorities using
    frameworks from four key resources.
  • Be familiar with a framework for integration and
    its application in one setting.
  • Be able to describe some key lessons learned in
    integration of MNH and FP from Kenya and
    elsewhere.

3
Our Dilemma
  • FP and Maternal Mortality
  • FP and HIV- PMTCT
  • FP and Child Mortality
  • Unmet need for FP
  • Many women of reproductive age
  • Service contacts
  • Why so many unintended pregnancies?
  • Cant we do better?

4
IS INTEGRATION WITH MNH THE WAY TO DO IT?
  • Considerations for Integration
  • Similar target group
  • Similar provider skill levels
  • Combination makes programmatic sense
  • Policies are supportive

Group exercise

  • Similarities?
  • Differences?
  • What do you take away?

PNC-FP Model in Kenya
  • Designed to reinvigorate postpartum/postnatal
    care including FP.
  • Package designed to follow the MOH guidelines for
    four postnatal care visits.
  • The first visit is within 48 hours
  • two weeks,
  • six weeks and
  • six months.

9
PNC-FP Package in Kenya
  • Intervention
  • A three-day training package was developed for
    providers which included
  • essential maternal and neonatal care.
  • family planning for postpartum women, including
    counseling content on
  • return to fertility,
  • discussion of fertility intentions,
  • healthy pregnancy spacing and
  • exclusive breastfeeding practices and lactational
    amenorrhea method (LAM) and transition to modern
    methods.
  • Danger signs
  • Support and supervision visits post-training

10
Integration of Counseling and Care
  • Areas that providers improved in postpartum care
    and counseling
  • Return to fertility
  • LAM
  • HTSP
  • Danger signs
  • Check for TT
  • Check BP

11
When We Offer Postpartum Services
They begin to come
12
Miss no opportunity! At every immunisation
visit, ASK about FP intentions and LAM transition
plan!
Think, and provide the Link!

Integration With Other Services
14
Integrating Clinical Training
  • PPIUCD
  • Post-placental after AMTSL
  • Reinforce infection prevention
  • Safe method for HIV women who request long
    acting methods

15
Timing and referral for services
  • When we counsel new mothers about waiting two
    years before getting pregnant, almost all say-
    Yes, we want to wait.
  • Then they ask us for methods. They say the
    services are far, the FWV isnt available and
    there are no methods there.
  • Community newborn health workers

16
Family planning as a topic..
  • Family planning is sensitive here. We wanted to
    include LAM in our IEC materials, but the
    community leaders said that if we talked about
    breastfeeding as contraception, it would
    discourage women from breastfeeding.
  • - Program Manager

17
And theres our expertise-
  • Family planning is clear to me, but what is all
    this other stuff? Im no expert on newborn
    health. Where are those (ACCESS) people?
  • Im not up-to-date on family planning. I work
    in the maternity- the FP clinic is in the
    outpatient ward.

18
Whats the issue? The case of LAM
  • Child Survival
  • EBF
  • Longer breastfeeding
  • Mother-baby bond
  • HIV moms and AFASS
  • But fully and mostly fully are not useful
  • Spacing or preventing the next pregnancy is not
    the objective
  • Family Planning
  • Low cost method for 6 months
  • Gateway method
  • More than 98 effective
  • Prevents pregnancies in the first 6 months
  • But women can use even if not EBF

19
Others???????

A few lessons learned
  • M-Multiple Menus- one wont fit all
  • I-Invest in learning- cross-cutting issues
  • X- Extra flexibility compromise negotiate
  • Small steps- crack open a door
  • I-Integration in training, services, monitoring
  • N-Note- it wont be perfect
  • G-Good local leadership for integration
