The experiment started in late spring. There were about 1,700 visits related to free contraception in the summer.
Many young people have taken advantage of the free contraception offered by Päijät-Sote.
Around 1,700 visits related to free birth control for people under 25 were recorded in June-August at nurses’ and doctors’ offices. In the trial, which started at the end of spring, a contraceptive method suitable for the customer, such as e-pills or a contraceptive capsule, is offered free of charge.
Free condoms are also distributed, but they are not recommended as the only way to prevent pregnancy.
