Abstract

Context: The maternal mortality rate in Guinea remains high at 550/100,000 live births. Contraceptive prevalence is still low with 11% for women in union, unmet need was 22% with a fertility rate of 4.8. With this in mind, the DMPA-SC was introduced in Guinea in 2018 and then scaled up to 2020. The objective was to study the supply of DMPA- SC and AI services in the health districts of Conakry in the time of COVID-19. Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective recruitment study, from March 1 to November 30, 2021 in public health facilities and from June 1 to November 30, 2021 in private health facilities; it involved new users of DMPA SC and AI in these facilities, the review and validation of FP data from the facilities, and post-training follow-up was carried out by telephone or in person. The data were collected in a whatsAPP platform and processed using Excel software. Results: We counted 2279 new users, including 1474 for DMPA-SC and 271 DMPA-SC AI in 28 public health facilities and 383 DMPA-SC and 151DPMA-SC AI in 30 private clinics. The practice of self-injection was more dominant in private clinics (70%) than in public facilities (36%). Conclusion: Private clinics appear to be an opportunity to increase contraceptive prevalence in Guinea.
