Contraceptive Security Indicators Data- 2011 Data Collection

Publication date: 2011

Introduction Contraceptive Security Indicators Data 2011 Data Collection Introduction and Purpose: The Contraceptive Security (CS) Indicators activity highlights a comprehensive set of indicators that were developed to reflect key aspects of contraceptive security and can be used to monitor countries' CS statuses for programmatic and advocacy purposes. The indicators build upon the the Strategic Pathway to Reproductive Health Commodity Security (SPARHCS) framework. This dataset presents CS indicators for 40 countries. The data was collected in 2011 through the third annual round of data collection. Worksheets: Click below to jump to the following information. Individual countries' data: Afghanistan Albania Armenia Azerbaijan Bangladesh Bolivia Burkina Faso DRC DR El Salvador Ethiopia Gambia Georgia Ghana Guatemala Haiti Honduras India Kenya Liberia Madagascar Malawi Mali Mozambique Nepal Nicaragua Nigeria Pakistan Paraguay Philippines Russia Rwanda Senegal South Sudan Tanzania Uganda Ukraine Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe The individual country worksheets may contain a small amount of additional information about the indicator responses in cells' inserted comments. All countries' data: ALL countries This worksheet provides all countries' responses. It also provides the option to filter the data by various categories. In addition, it contains grouping so that users can choose to see just a summary of key indicators if they so choose. Additional resources: Blank survey This worksheet contains a blank survey so that you can collect the indicators for your own monitoring, programmatic, and advocacy purposes. Frequently asked questions handout This handout was sent to respondents along with the survey and helps clarify some of the indicator questions. Topics: Indicator questions include the following topics: -- Finance & Procurement (Capital)—dollar value of estimated need for contraceptives to be procured (value of quantification), existence of a government budget line item for contraceptives, amount that government had allocated for contraceptives, extent of expenditures for public sector contraceptives and in-kind donations, sources of funding/donations, information on whether there was a funding gap, and information about the government's procurement mechanism. - Commodities—range of contraceptive methods offered through public facilities, private facilities, NGO facilities, and through social marketing. - Policies (Commitment)—existence of a national contraceptive security strategy, existence of policies limiting or promoting access to family planning, inclusion of contraceptives on the National Essential Medicine List (NEML), and inclusion of contraceptive security and family planning indicators in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). - Coordination and Leadership—existence of a national committee that works on contraceptive security and types of organizations represented, frequency of committee meetings, legal status of the committee, and existence of a contraceptive security “champion”. - Supply Chain (Capacity)—stockout information at the central level, and whether stockouts are a serious problem at the service delivery point and central levels, respectively. Data Sources: The indicators were designed to capture relatively objective information routinely through a key informant survey and a review of existing local documents. Indicator questions were constructed so that a range of respondents could answer them easily with little background research. Country respondents were mainly USAID missions and USAID | DELIVER PROJECT staff. Respondents often consulted with Ministry of Health representatives and other cooperating agencies as well. The data are contingent upon the knowledge of the respondents and the accuracy of the data sources consulted. Data was collected from the countries and then reviewed and supplemented by USAID | DELIVER PROJECT staff based in Arlington, Virginia. This process occurred between late February and late June 2011 (except for Gambia, which provided its information early - in September 2010).

LGUs fund and procure their contraceptive requirements. Prices of contraceptives, even for the same contraceptive method and brand, are not uniform across LGUs. Currently, there is no systematic data that provides a report on LGU procurements. PhilHealth enrollment is another mechanism for LGU financing of contraceptives. When an LGU enrolls its constituents (indigent constituents) with PhilHealth, it is indirectly financing their contraceptive requirements since a) the enrolled constituent can use the PhilHealth benefit packages that cover the costs of some contraceptive methods; and/or (b) the LGU can use part of the capitation fund received from PhilHealth (for enrollments made) to procure contraceptives. USAID/Philippines, through the Health Policy Development Project, assisted the DOH to conduct a rapid assessment survey in 2007 on LGU procurements covering all provinces and cities (N: 122). The results of the survey showed that 55% of the LGUs (N: 67) procured contraceptives at or above the level of donated contraceptives they used to receive before the phase-out of USAID's donation. The remaining 45% (N: 55) did not procure. In 2004, the DOH issued the guidelines on the management of the donated commodities under the Contraceptive Self-Reliance Strategy which includes the guidelines and schedule for phasing of contraceptive donations at the national and local level. The LGUs were divided into three batches - the first being the richest LGUs and the last being the poorest LGUs. While the last shipment of USAID-donated contraceptives (excluding IUDs) occurred in September 2007, the last DOH shipment to the third batch of LGUs to be phased out was in the October-December 2008 quarter.

The Department of Health (DOH) pays for taxes & duties for donations and social marketing. (For more information see D3a. response.) The customs duty on condoms and hormonal contraceptives is 3% of the total value. The customs duty on Copper T IUDs is 15% of the total value. All contraceptives are subject to a 12% value added tax (VAT). Yes Taxes/duties - donated commodities, socially marketed commodities, and commercially marketed contraceptives are subject to taxes and duties. Taxes/duties on donated contraceptives consigned to the Department of Health (such as those donated by USAID) are shouldered by the Government of the Philippines through automatic appropriations of the Department of Budget Management. Taxes/duties of socially marketed contraceptives consigned to the Department of Health are paid by the Department of Health. Taxes/duties on socially marketed contraceptives that are not consigned to the Department of Health are paid by the NGOs marketing those contraceptives. Taxes/duties on commercially marketed contraceptives are paid by the manufacturer, importer, or trader. Pharmacy law - this law bans brand advertising of ethical/regulated drugs. Hormonal contraceptives (oral pills, injectables and hormonal IUDs) are classified as ethical/regulated drugs, therefore, brand advertising is banned. Copper T IUDs are classified as medical device and registered as unregulated product and not subject to the same restrictions. There is no prohibition on brand advertising of Copper T IUDs. The pharmacy law also prohibits dispensing of ethical/regulated drugs without prescription. Don't know Don't know Yes Oral contraceptive pills & injectables Only trained health workers are allowed to dispense. Dispensing without a prescription is not allowed. However, since public facilities are headed by doctors who supervise all health workers in the facilities, prescriptions are easy to obtain. However, in practice, pills can be obtained without prescription from pharmacies/drugstores. Only trained health service providers are allowed to dispense. Service providers other than physicians, such as midwives, cannot dispense without a prescription. However, most midwives, and all PhilHealth accredited midwives have back-up physicians who write the prescriptions. IUDs Only trained health workers are allowed to dispense. Dispensing of a hormonal IUD without a prescription is not allowed. However, since public facilities are headed by doctors who supervise all health workers in the facilities, prescriptions are easy to obtain. Barangay Health Station (the lowest level of public health facility) health service providers do not dispense IUDs. Only trained health service providers are allowed to dispense. Service providers other than physicians, such as midwives, cannot dispense without a prescription. However, most midwives, and all PhilHealth accredited midwives have back-up physicians who write the prescriptions. 0 0 0 No 0 0 No 0 0 No 0 0 No No N/A Because of devolution, LGUs craft their own policies. Policies are not uniform across LGUs. In general, services in public sector facilities are provided for free but there are some LGUs that have fee for service policies in some of their facilities. In general, commodities in public sector facilities are provided for free but there are some who charge at full or subsidized prices. Only a few LGUs have policies on client segmentation. While this is the case, other funding mechanisms for paying for contraceptives are available to public sector clients. If the client is a PhilHealth member, the client can avail of three PhilHealth benefit packages: (1) Maternity Care Package for normal deliveries that includes the first cycle of oral contraceptives and the first dose of injectable postpartum (2) IUD Package and (3) Voluntary Surgical Sterilization Package for bilateral tubal ligation and vasectomy.

This requires broadening the definition to include the support systems for the implementation of the family planning program and addressing issues of sustainability. Hence, the DOH has embarked on Contraceptive Self-Reliance, rather than Contraceptive Security. This strategy includes, in addition to government financing and procurement of commodity-based contraceptive methods (pills, injectables, IUDs, condoms, and others), promotion and financing of other methods (bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomy, lactational amenorrhea, natural family planning, and others), expanding distribution coverage, and mobilizing private sector resources in the provision of family planning services and commodities. This approach to contraceptive security may have contributed to maintaining a steady CPR despite USAID's phase out of contraceptive donations. And since the government's objective is to ensure the country's self-sufficiency in the provision of family planning services and commodities, the prospect for sustainability is high even without external contraceptive donations. 2) Protecting the poor - The poor should be protected in the process of achieving contraceptive self-reliance. The issue of targeting financing and provision for the poor also involves many operational issues such as determining who are poor and entitled to free services, how the non-poor should be served, and how these issues will be handled by local health systems that are supposed to be for everyone in the community. 3) Even the poor go to the private sector for contraceptives. The private sector is becoming more interested in participating. DKT provides a large quantity of contraceptives. Before there were few choices in the country - there were free contraceptives in the public sector and expensive contraceptives in the private sector but little in between. Now with the USAID phase out and a pharmaceutical project to help the pharmaceutical industry get in the market there are more subsized, affordable choices. 4) The FP issue is more prominent now. There's an RH bill saying that the government is to be responsible for RH (including FP); this bill hasn't been passed yet, but discussion has increased and the issue is prominent. There is more openness politically now to discuss providing FP choices.

Sources include regional and municipal budgets, mandatory health insurance (less often), and small donations from pharmaceutical firms. However, a range of modern contraceptive methods are widely available through pharmacies, including in the public health care facilities for a fee/purchase. Even though FP is not included in the provision of health services, a few USAID target regions cover/reimburse FP counseling under the regional mandatory health insurance plans.

(Note: The GOU commitment to finance the SPRHN remains at the same level in terms of local currency amount during the last 3 years. However, the amounts spent during the last 3 years are different.) The USAID TfH project has limited ability to influence the GOU contraceptive procurement process. The situation is aggravated by the fact that there has not been a permanent Head of the MCH Department at the MOH of Ukraine for the last 8 months because of the recent government rotations. Regional councils that make decisions on funding of regional RH programs are reporting decreases in social and health budgets as they have other competing health priorities like HIV/AIDS and TB. The economic crisis is still ongoing and led to the February-March increase of prices for utilities, gas, and food products. It continues to have a negative impact on the population's ability to purchase contraceptives, especially in the rural areas.

The answer "N/A" means that some of the contraceptives are not registered (e.g., implants and CycleBeads) or are not procured by the GOU (e.g., progestin-only pills, injections, emergency contraceptives). Yes Don't know There are four vulnerable population groups in Ukraine that have access to free contraceptives through the public sector: poor people, HIV+ women, youth aged 18-20, and women with extragenital pathologies. The Ministry of Health (MOH) does not estimate the need for contraceptives for these groups, as they never receive state funding for procurement of contraceptives based on the need. The funding is always limited and represents "what is given by the Ministry of Finance". In addition, there are no clear criteria in the country regarding "who is the poor", and thus, there are no official records on the number of poor people. State Statistics Committee (SSC) of Ukraine says that 48.6% of the population live on a monthly income of $100-$200. The MOH reports that they procure contraceptives in sufficient quantities to ensure that 90%-100% of women with extragenital pathologies have access to them (the fourth vulnerable group). However, this satisfies only one of the four vulnerable groups. The USAID Together for Health (TfH) project made the forecast of the contraceptive needs for the eligible population in Ukraine in 2010. They used the World Bank estimate that 8% of the population in Ukraine is poor, UNAIDS data on HIV+ people, SSC data on youth, and 2007 DHS for details on contraceptive use. Also, since October 2010, the USAID TfH project has been distributing the USAID-donated contraceptives (DepoProvera, Microgynon, and Copper IUD) that reach the primary health care level in 15 regions of Ukraine (out of a total of 27).
