The Guttmacher Institute released findings from a study on unmet health needs across various global regions, including Africa, Europe, Oceania, Latin America, and Asia. The research focused on 128 low- and middle-income countries, with specific findings detailed for 53 countries in Africa, 36 in Asia, 23 in Latin America and Caribbean, and 8 countries each in Europe and Oceania. The study found that in low- and middle-income countries across Asian and African regions, millions of women face significant unmet demands for modern contraception, contributing to high rates of unintended pregnancies and maternal mortality.
