Session on MPTs at the European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health (ESC): First Global Conference on Contraception, Reproductive and Sexual Health

This session discussed the definition of MPTs, the global need among the female population, and the currently available method mix. While MPT development is complex, an examination of key countries demonstrate the benefits for HIV prevention, STI prevention, and contraception. A discussion of the MPT product profiles also led to recommendations for working groups, investment alignment, and product introductions to help advance the field.
