Nadda launches first indigenous female condom
Union Health Minister JP Nadda on Tuesday launched the first indigenously developed natural latex-based female condom, 'Velvet'. "It is the only woman-initiated method of contraception that serves a dual protection – prevention of pregnancy and of HIV/AIDS," Nadda said. Notably, the manufacturer, HLL Lifecare Ltd, is among the four global suppliers of female condoms pre-qualified by the WHO.
