Scaling up national logistics management information system (LMIS) for contraceptives
Status update: Scaling up of the LMIS – in the process of scaling up in Rajasthan state. Since health is a state subject, not all states are interested in developing an LMIS just for contraceptives.
Developing LMIS aligns well with the global priority of strengthening supply chains and effective data utilization. Availability of LMIS data will allow decision makers to determine: when to order, how much to order, total consumption, and available stock. Having a robust LMIS will lead itself to effective logistics data utilization.

A communication package was launched at the summit with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador. The package consists of short films, audio spots and posters with messages targeting various members in the family. The FP communication package emphasized on age at marriage, delaying and spacing of births and responsibilities of both partners and the family in family planning.
