$1 contraceptive injection to be made available in dozens of countries

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-30026001

From the article:

The special device, with a smaller needle and no traditional syringe, will be sold at just $1 a unit.

An agreement - signed in the past few days - will make the new way of giving contraceptive injections available to women in 69 of the world's poorest countries.

The deal has been reached between the Gates Foundation, the drug company Pfizer and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation.
