QS: A Safe, Inexpensive, Readily Administered Method of Family Planning
The need for better access to modern family planning methods worldwide remains only slightly over half accomplished. While better educational opportunities for women remains central to such improvement, the means for women regulating their fertility should constantly be enhanced. One method, quinacrine sterilization or QS, which has huge promise, remains underutilized.
Since 1994 QS expansion has been the primary focus of an NGO that I founded in 1976, International Services Assistance Fund (ISAF).
This simple, safe, easy to administer method of female sterilization has been used by over 200,000 women, some for 30 years, in over 50 countries including the US, with no reported deaths or life threatening complications. An International Journal of Ob/Gyn QS Supplement containing 25 juried papers from 14 countries has been distributed in 5 languages in many nations.
