Meri Sangini vs Maa Swasthya Sangini Usage & Stats

Meri Sangini is a mobile application developed by Nepal CRS Company with support from USAID through Shops Plus to provide detailed information on the temporary methods of contraception. Although the information provided is suitable for any person of reproductive age, the information provided will be very useful for the adolescent and newly married couples who seek detailed information on the temporary methods including the common side effects of each method. We advise consultation with the qualified service provider for the selection of the method most suitable for each individual. An extensive FAQ section addresses general questions about temporary contraceptive and common concerns specific to each contraceptive method. Additionally, the application also provides platform for the existing and potential users to seek further information on the use of contraceptives. The app also provides the GPS location, displayed on a map, of the private pharmacies, clinics and social franchising network outlets in Nepal. The users can quickly find out the location of the outlets nearest to them where the products and services are available. After downloading and installing, certain features of the app also operates offline. The information provided in this app is in both English and Nepali language.
