Summary: Postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device(PPIUD) is a long acting reversible contraceptive. Since its introduction in Zambia in 2009, the uptake has remained low accounting for less than 10 percent of IUD inserttions whose prevalence is less than one percent of modern contraceptive methods. Worldwide, the low uptake of the PPIUD is due in part, to lack of knowledge about PPIUD, medical staff advising against PPIUD based on outdated information, lack of trained staff to provide the service and failure of clients to return for insertion due to logistics challenges, among other reasons.
