The purpose of this manual is to assist healthcare workers and hospital and clinic supervisors, managers and administrators understand the basic principles of infection prevention and recommended processes and practices.

WHO Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use (2002)

This World Health Organization document provides selected practice recommendations based on the best available evidence and is intended to be used by policy-makers, programme managers, and the scientific community. It aims to provide guidance to national family planning/reproductive health programmes in the preparation of guidelines for service delivery of contraceptives.

Recommendations for Updating Selected Practices in Contraceptive Use (1994-1997)

In 1994 USAID convened a group of experts that reviewed the current literature on 4 contraceptive methods and developed guidelines for use based on the scientific data. In 1997 the group published a second volume which covered all other commonly available contraceptive methods. A special version was created for ReproLine^Ž which combines the two volumes in one easy-to use online document.

PocketGuide for Family Planning Service Providers (1996-1998, Second Edition)

The PocketGuide for Family Planning Service Providers was designed to provide clinicians with easily accessible, clinically-oriented information for use in family planning service provision.

Service Delivery Guidelines

The purpose of the Service Delivery Guidelines is to provide service providers at all levels with key information on all contraceptive methods commonly available. They are based on the most up-to-date knowledge and consensus opinions.
