Contraceptive implant distribution and training in Brazil

Overview

Health initiatives in Brazil have focused on expanding access to subdermal contraceptive implants through increased supply and professional training.

In Sinop, Mato Grosso, the municipality received 5,826 Implanon implants from the Ministry of Health as part of a larger state-wide distribution. This follows the city’s implementation of the service in September 2025, which saw nearly 3,000 insertions by September 2026. Local officials attributed the large shipment to effective resource organization and data management.

In Ubatuba, health authorities have focused on workforce qualification. The municipal health department conducted a final phase of training for nursing professionals to perform etonogestrel implantations. This initiative, linked to the ‘Pink October’ campaign, has resulted in 45 qualified nurses across the municipal network to improve service efficiency.
