The DISC project social behavior change coordinator in Nigeria, Micheal Titus, disclosed this in Lafia.
DISC project is a five-year sexual and reproductive health programme implemented by the SFH, with funding from the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and support from the Population Services International.

Mr. Titus said the project had enabled women to initiate and advance their self-care by self-injecting at the comfort of their homes, market places and offices.

He said the initiative had helped women to overcome the hindrances attached to accessing healthcare facilities for the three months period of taking injectables.

He said the DISC project was able to train healthcare providers in empathy counseling and other necessary training in order to boost their confidence in attending to women of reproductive age especially as it concerns family planning.
