Bangladesh is facing a significant shortage of condoms and other contraceptives, with supplies expected to run out for at least a month next year. This scarcity is attributed to a fund crunch, ongoing procurement legal issues, and a 25% vacancy in field-level distribution posts. The situation is concerning as Bangladesh's total fertility rate has recently risen, and limited access to contraception could exacerbate this trend. Officials hope restocking will occur if procurement issues are resolved.
