ACCESS TO MEDICINES
Helping Women Plan Their Families —
Expanded Access to Sayana® Press
Long-acting Contraceptive
A novel agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and
the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation will help expand access
to Pzer’s long-acting contraceptive, Sayana® Press, for millions of
women most in need in 69 of the world’s poorest countries.
Sayana Press, a pre-lled, single-use, non-reusable injection,
is a re-designed version of an injectable contraceptive from
Pzer’s Global Established Pharma’s (GEP) women’s health
portfolio. Created with the target population of women in mind, it
eliminates the need to prepare a needle and syringe, allowing the
contraceptive to be administered by health workers at home or in
other non-medical settings.
Through this agreement and the support of a public/private sector
consortium including PATH, the United Kingdom’s Department for
International Development, the United Nations Population Fund,
and the United States Agency for International Development,
Sayana Press will be sold for one U.S. dollar per dose to qualied
purchasers, who can help enable the poorest women in these
countries to have access to the contraceptive at reduced or no cost.
This novel collaboration expands access to the contraceptive,
Sayana® Press, in 69 of the world’s poorest countries.
