Why do some groups oppose the introduction of injectable contraceptives in India?
New contraceptive technologies such as the hormonal injectables and implants are invasive, longer acting, provider-controlled and have a high potential for abuse when they are targeted at women in developing countries. Besides, injectables also have higher associated health risks that cannot be easily addressed with the poor health infrastructure in India. So, while the usage may spread with ease, it may simultaneously breed a new set of health problems for which the woman may have nowhere to go.
