Emergency contraception is technically available by prescription only. In some parts of the country, like Jakarta and Ubud, pharmacists often sell emergency contraception without a prescription. However, in some other parts of the country, like Lombok, people have reported difficulty accessing emergency contraception (even with a prescription). In the private sector, the lowest cadre of health workers who are allowed to sell or dispense EC are midwives. It is estimated that 11% of Indonesian women of reproductive age have knowledge of EC and that 0.3% have ever used it.[1]
