The Indonesian government will provide reproductive health services for adolescents, including the provision of contraceptives.

This is stipulated in Article 103 of Government Regulation (PP) Number 28 of 2024.

However, contraceptives will be provided specifically to married adolescents, not all adolescents.

According to Siti Nadia Tarmizi, Acting Head of the Public Communication and Service Bureau of the Ministry of Health, this initiative is undertaken because there are still many teenage marriages.

"The provision of contraceptives is for married adolescents who are delaying pregnancy until they are physically and psychologically ready," said Siti Nadia Tarmizi, as reported by *Antara* on Tuesday (6/8/2024).

"A ministerial regulation on health (Permenkes) will be issued to regulate the technical aspects in more detail, including the mechanisms, guidance, monitoring, and sanctions to prevent misinterpretations," she added.

According to a 2023 Ministry of Health survey, of all female adolescent samples aged 10-19 years who have ever given birth, 39% did not use contraception.

Then, 61% used contraception after the birth of their last child.

The most widely used contraceptive among this group of adolescent girls is the "3-month injection."

The "3-month injection" contraceptive is a method of pregnancy prevention involving the injection of certain hormones to prevent fertilization in the uterus, with an effect lasting for 3 months.

However, unlike condoms, injectable contraceptives do not offer protection against sexually transmitted infections or sexually transmitted diseases.

Other contraceptive methods or devices have significantly lower usage rates, as shown in the graph.
