* Regarding IUDs, one local has reported: "IUD's are a fairly popular option, especially the copper one because it's long lasting and affordable. I know several friends who were offered it after giving birth, and I personally was offered it twice when I saw two doctors about birth control options (not married). I had mine (copper) inserted at nine wells in one of the labour rooms (very clean), and then my second one under anaesthesia at Asiri Surgical (operation theatre). My doctor also offered to do it at Joseph Fraser Hospital but I would have had to buy the IUD from an agent and bring it with me, which I found a little strange so I went with the Ninewells, where I just paid for it in my final bill." | |||
