Meet 'Maya' – Your New BFF for Family Planning

26 September is not only my Birthday, it is also the World Contraception Day! World Contraception Day is an annual worldwide campaign centers around a vision where every pregnancy is wanted. Launched in 2007, World Contraception Day's mission is to improve awareness of contraception and to enable young people to make informed choices on their sexual and reproductive health.
In line with this, Bayer has launch the technology-driven chatbot called, 'Ask Maya', which is supported by FRHAM and MPC-YPC. 'Ask Maya' chatbot is dedicated to increasing access to and availability of family planning services and education.

Dr. John Teo, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and Member of the Medical Committee of FRHAM, has shared his thought on family planning, sexual and reproductive health at the launch event. He shared “Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) in Malaysia is 22% for all methods and for modern methods it is only at 35%. What is of concern is that the rate has not improved over the last 20 years!”

“Therefore, the challenge of addressing reproductive health issues remains enormous. The 5th Malaysian Family and Population survey conducted in 2014 reported that on average, only 40% to 60% of our adolescents and young adults are aware of basic reproductive knowledge. It is also essential that women learn more about contraceptive methods and clear any misconceptions they may have,” explained Teo.

Commenting on Bayer Co. (Malaysia)'s involvement on this issue, Ms. Jennifer Yong, Managing Director of Bayer Co. (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd said, “Bayer has a long history in women's health and we have been supporting family-planning programmes for more than 50 years. Today's launch of our chatbot, 'Ask Maya', takes our efforts to the next level in sync with modern technology.”

“'Ask Maya' is hosted on Bayer's 'How U know' website (http://www.howuknow.com/), which also promotes awareness of contraceptive methods to help women make informed decisions on their sexual and reproductive health” added Jennifer.

The 'Ask Maya' chatbot initiative has been made possible through Bayer's partnership with the Federation of Reproductive Health Associations Malaysia (FRHAM) and the Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society – Young Pharmacist Chapter (MPS-YPC).
