British Columbians lack basic pharmaceutical coverage for contraceptives, despite the World Health Organization deeming contraceptives as essential. There are a wide range of barriers that may limit Canadians' access to contraception, including costs, attitudes of providers, inadequate sexual education, administrative barriers, and travel. Given that contraception is lifesaving and a fundamental component of reproductive health care, it is imperative for the provincial government to make a comprehensive provision of no-cost prescription contraception. This commentary explores universal coverage of contraception, public education campaigns, and a task-shifting model to promote equity in the realm of reproductive health care.
