Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Although reproductive tract infections (RTIs) threaten the health of many women, they continue to be ignored by the

research and health professional communities. There has been little research and only a few pilot programs to

develop, implement, and evaluate effective strategies to prevent, detect, or treat RTIs at the primary health care level.

This paper reviews published work and the authors' experiences in Asia and the Pacific, with particular attention to

Bangladesh, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Vietnam. They describe the extent of RTIs, discuss the reasons

for the overall neglect of RTIs despite clearly demonstrated need, and discuss issues related to including RTIs in

family planning programs. The authors argue for the expansion of services in family planning and maternal health

programs to include the management of RTIs in order to minimize missed opportunities and to improve women's

health care delivery. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2068-06)
