Abstract
Chronic diseases, including heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and
chronic respiratory conditions, are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide.
Women, who make up 60% of the global poor, face even greater challenges in surviving these
conditions due to the impact of poverty. For women with chronic illnesses, unintended
pregnancies carry a high risk of severe maternal and perinatal complications, such as congenital
abnormalities, preterm labor, spontaneous abortion, premature birth, and fetal death. Ensuring
access to contraceptives, especially modern methods, is crucial to enabling these women to have
safe pregnancies and avoid pregnancy-related complications.
