A new episode of Well, Now from @SlatePodcasts dropped just in time for #WorldContraceptionDay. Hear Dr. Kavita Nanda of @fhi360 on the need for #contraceptive innovations, like the biodegradable implant Casea S that her team is studying. Listen now! slate.com/podcasts/well-now/…
ALT I think that there is definitely a need for new methods, because I think that we don’t have methods that meet the needs of everybody. You can go to the grocery store and you can buy 18 different kinds of orange juice, but there are only a certain number of contraceptives. —Dr. Kavita Nanda, Director of Medical Research, FHI 360, on the need for contraceptive innovation as a key to equitable access

🧵Innovate FP researchers at @fhi360 are working on 2 exciting #contraceptive products funded by the @GatesFoundation & featured in the @nytimes. The 6-month injectable would last longer while the microarray patch could be self-administered & less painful.
