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

This report presents an analysis of opportunities to promote use of modern contraceptives through the commercial

sector in Romania. The 1994 assessment focused on the commercial/trade and legal/regulatory factors impacting

on commercial contraceptive sales and marketing, importation, and distribution. The assessment identifies factors

that adversely affected the regular contraceptive availability in the private sector. The appendices include the scope

of work, a contact list, licensing of distributors, product testing and registration, a list of registered hormonal

contraceptives, pricing and customs duties and taxes, a draft program for medical training in family planning,

establishment of a private medical practice, current abortion statistics, advertising and mass media costs, and a

selected bibliography. Findings are presented for importers and distributors, medical providers, retailers, and

consumers. Contraceptives are imported from a Ministry of Health (MOH) parastatal, International Planned

Parenthood Federation supplies to nongovernmental organizations, and private importers. Instabilities in exchange

rates have led distributors to limit inventories or withhold products from the markets. Access to medical providers

with knowledge of modern contraceptive practices is limited. Physicians are prohibited from supplying family

planning until completion of MOH training. Retail providers are the most important source of a wide range of

contraceptives at a variety of prices. Retailers need sufficient access to cash to maintain adequate inventory.

Couples have a strong desire to limit family size. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 4082-06)
