Dear Friend of DKT,
DKT delivered very strong results in 2021 and we are pleased to share here the health impact of those sales and service delivery efforts.
Last year, DKT generated over 54.2 million CYPs, reaching women and men in over 90 different countries. As shared previously, this included the sale of more than 901 million condoms, 20.3 million emergency contraceptive doses, 4.7 million IUDs, and 5 million medical abortion (MA) combination packs.
To calculate the health impact of these sales, DKT uses a 3rd party impact evaluator to crunch numbers. Based on the MSI Impact 2 health calculator, DKT averted an estimated:
- 10.5 million unintended pregnancies
- 8.3 million unsafe abortions
- 28,500 maternal deaths
- 75,800 child deaths
- 1.7 million maternal disability-adjusted life years (DALYs)
We are transparent about our results and share both the raw data by country and product here. For a complete summary of DKT’s annual sales and other results from previous years, visit our website.
We are very proud of these results and the millions of people that we have been able to support in turning their reproductive rights into reality.
Christopher Purdy
President
