From Lately, 10:30 pm on 15 October 2019

Two long-term contraceptives which currently cost hundreds of dollars will now be fully funded by the government.

Pharmac is to fund the Mirena and Jaydess IUD devices from November following years of pressure from GPs, obstetricians and  Family Planning

 Karyn speaks with Dr Orna McGinn who joined the battle with a petition to make Mirena and Jaydess available for all women who request this contraception.
