- Abstract
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, health centers had to readjust their workflows to provide care to patients with flu-like syndrome without neglecting priority actions such as reproductive planning. Therefore, this work aims to report the experience in expanding women's access an intrauterine device through social media and telemedicine in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba. The dissemination of the new workflow was released by Instagram. On this platform, the woman had access to a Google Forms form, through which she could show interest in inserting the IUD. Then, telephone contact was made via WhatsApp to arrange a remote consultation, in which the interested woman was initially assessed according to IUD medical eligibility criteria. After this, the woman was also instructed about adverse effects and possible complications. Thereby, the IUD insertion at the health centers was scheduled. Therefore, social networks can be allied in accessing information shared by health professionals, in addition to facilitating access to some services offered, such as previous consultation, before the evaluation and intrauterine device insertion.
