Abstract
The International Contraceptive Access Foundation is a partnership between Bayer AG and Population Council Inc. with a mission to provide levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine contraceptive systems at no charge to providers in low- and middle-income countries. For twenty years, the Foundation has enhanced knowledge of and access to this innovative contraceptive method. The Foundation has been critical to facilitating global access to hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs). This Foundation model should be considered for the introduction of future methods of contraception.
