Much needs to be done to address these needs, and significant savings could be achieved with adjustments in public health policies. In 2014, we published an article showing the cost to the Brazilian public sector for each pregnancy, including prenatal exams and consultations, childbirth, and postpartum follow-up.[os 40 dias após o parto] The total came to $1,000, about R$5,000. It's very expensive. If women who do not wish to become pregnant used an IUD or [dispositivo intrauterino]hormonal implant, long-acting contraceptive methods, the cost to the state would be less than R$1,000. We have tried for years to influence policymakers. We sent each publication from our group with significance for the public sector to the Health Secretaries of Campinas and the state of São Paulo, and to the Minister of Health, with a message: 'Look at this.' Do you know how many times we received a response? None, not even an acknowledgment of receipt..."

Dr. Luis Bahamondes delivers a lecture at the 16th Obstetrics and Gynecology Meeting of Tocantins.
The President of CEMICAMP, Dr. Luis Bahamondes, was one of the speakers at the 16th Obstetrics and Gynecology Meeting of Tocantins, recently held in Palmas from March 9 to 11, 2023, by SOGITO. During his presentation, he discussed Advances in Contraception and the importance of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) for women's reproductive health. He emphasized that these methods are highly effective and safe, with very low failure rates, and can be inserted immediately after childbirth without affecting breastfeeding.
Additionally, the research conducted by his doctoral student Fabiana Cândida, who studied pain classification during IUD insertion in adolescents with her research team, was presented. The study assessed pain and discomfort during IUD insertion in adolescents using a numerical pain scale and a subjective assessment questionnaire. The results showed that pain was reported as moderate by most adolescents, but the majority reported that the insertion was easier than they had expected.
