WHO’s dedicating a month to #SelfCare and it starts now!

We want to make sure quality Self-care interventions are 1⃣ available, 2⃣ affordable, 3⃣ acceptable and 4⃣ accessible to all those who need them.

#SelfCare is particularly useful during #COVID19 when many people find it hard to access their normal health care services and medications, including for sexual and reproductive health.

🔶contraception and condom use
