Country’s leading consultant Obstetricians & Gynecologists were invited as key note speakers providing balanced information and tailored resources. These leading consultants were specially invited by Bayer HealthCare Pakistan to enlighten the audience on the topic of contraception.
HealthCare Professionals emphasized that the need for contraceptive education is much needed as people still mistakenly consider the withdrawal method to be a reliable contraceptive option. Yet we are still seeing so many people rely on emergency contraception and drastic measures such as abortion.
