Focus Areas

Innovate, Adopt New Technology, and Promote Self-Care

DKT prioritizes innovation to help people access sexual and reproductive healthcare. Whether it’s by offering clients a new contraceptive method with fewer side-effects or connecting them to digital support services to answer questions about medical abortion, DKT works to improve informed decision making about reproductive health options.

Next-Generation Health Technologies

DKT offers a comprehensive basket of products in 100+ countries, and as sexual and reproductive technology improves, our offerings continue to grow. 

Digital Support

DKT provides support via call centers, instant messaging, and telehealth in many countries, enabling people seeking stigma-free information about contraception and safe abortion with access to information in the palm of their hand.

Self-Care

DKT believes that individuals should have greater control over their reproductive destinies. Demedicalization of care, including self-managed abortions, is increasingly making this possible.

A Growing Portfolio that Promotes Choice

Sexual and reproductive health is not “one size fits all.” As markets become more mature, DKT is better able to expand the number of choices available to keep pace with the evolving needs of consumers. Some of the ways that DKT promotes choice through our growing product portfolio are highlighted below.   

  • DMPA-SC (subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate) is a self-injectable contraceptive that comes prefilled for self-administration in the comfort of a client’s home.
  • HIV self-test kits  empowering people with the means of learning their HIV status using a painless sample collected by swabbing the gums. 
  • IUD varieties are growing in number, allowing users to pick and choose based on their needs. In addition to traditional copper (non-hormonal) IUDs, DKT offers a hormonal IUD, “sleek” IUDs, and post-partum IUDs.    
  • Levoplant, a two-rod contraceptive implant prequalified by the World Health Organization, offers a highly affordable long-acting reversible contraceptive option.
  • Oral contraceptive pills come in a variety of formulations, including some that offer non-contraceptive benefits, such as controlling acne. 
  • Mifepristone, when used in combination with misoprostol, is an effective way to end an early pregnancy or manage a miscarriage. In some countries, it can be self-administered in the home. 


DKT works with research and development partners to expand this list and bring more choices to clients around the world.  

Support Expanded Choice

DKT’s web and mobile solutions harness the power of technology to bring care directly to clients, eliminating barriers like distance to a clinic, long wait times, or overly-medicalized terminology.
