Abstract
Emergency contraception (EC) is used post-coitally and offers women an important second chance to prevent pregnancy. Approximately 10 years ago, Mexico became one of the earliest countries working to expand EC access. Partners came together to pursue a synergistic four-pronged strategy, including product registration, health care provider training and orientation, awareness raising among the general public, and policy change. By 2006, five EC products were registered and sold in Mexico, EC was widely available through pharmacies and included in the public sector contraceptive options, and knowledge of the method had increased substantially.
