The development of world contraception day
When Latin Americans and Bayer Company set up the "Day to Prevent Adolescent Unintended Pregnancy" in Uruguay in 2003, no one expected that it would develop into a global activity. But soon, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador joined in. In 2007, the Global world contraception day was officially born, scheduled for September 26th every year.
This day is the birthday of Professor RobertoCaldeyro-Barcia of Uruguay, to commemorate Professor Roberto's dedication to perinatal medicine. In 2009, with the active efforts of the global headquarters of Bayer Healthcare Co., Ltd., China joined the publicity activities in world contraception day for the first time and provided the support of the official website of China, world contraception day.
Advocate teenagers to communicate contraceptive knowledge confidently and frankly, guide correct contraceptive methods, and promote teenagers to choose effective contraceptive methods to avoid unintended pregnancy. More than 70 countries and regions around the world have held commemorative activities around September 26 every year, calling on young people to raise their awareness of contraception and make responsible choices for their contraception and reproductive health.
