The Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project supports PSI’s vision to reimagine healthcare by increasing awareness, availability, and access to contraceptive self-care methods like DMPA SC self-injection that give women greater power and control over their sexual and reproductive health.

In partnership with Ministries of Health, healthcare provider networks, and other key stakeholders, DISC is integrating self-care methods into health systems, bringing care closer to consumers, and amplifying their voice, choice, and agency. DISC is now in an exciting new phase that involves scaling high-impact practices within existing countries and expanding into new ones, including Nigeria, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Ethiopia, DRC, and Kenya.
