Govt offering free birth control pills

The government is providing free birth control capsules via the Pao Tang app in a bet to reduce unwanted pregnancies, deputy government spokeswoman Rachada Dhnadirek says.

Microsoft Rachada said with all the rate of expectant teens rising considering that 2016, the National Health Security Workplace has introduced a contraceptive programme covering Thailänder women aged 15-59.

They can register for free contraceptives via the app 13 times a year. Every registration can provide as much as three packs of contraceptive pills, the girl added. Anyone unable to access the app can show their ID cards at healthcare centres or clinics registered with the programme.
