UNFPA partners Lagos, GoMed to expand reproductive health services for Nigerian students

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Lagos State government, and GoMed Nigeria have partnered to launch a digital self-care initiative aimed at improving access to reproductive health services for university students. The program provides free contraceptives and other reproductive health commodities to students at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). It seeks to overcome barriers like cost, distance, stigma, misinformation, and confidentiality concerns that hinder young people from accessing reproductive health care. A 2025 study highlighted that low utilization of reproductive health services among female students is linked to structural and behavioral challenges, including stigma and financial constraints. Through this initiative, students will gain access to discounted health products, discreet deliveries, and online platforms offering health information and consultations with qualified professionals.
