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.

ABSTRACT

At a workshop in Dhaka on February 10, 1994, district and thana level managers discussed the problems associated

with a project that delivers injectable contraceptives to the doorsteps of clients. The workshop, which was organized

by the Bangladesh government and the Maternal and Child Health-Family Planning (MCH-FP) Extension Project of

the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B), identified lack of appropriate

training, inefficient supervision, and inadequate knowledge about and facilities for the disposal of used syringes and

needles as problems. There was agreement among participants that use of the injectables, depot

medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and norethisterone enanthate (NET-EN), had led to increases in contraceptive

use. The 6-month old project had been initiated in 8 thanas by the Directorate of Family Planning of the government

of Bangladesh, with the technical assistance of the MCH-FP Extension Project, after ICDDR,B noticed that the rates

of use for all types of contraceptives had increased in the rural areas of Matlab, Abhoynagar, and Sirajganj with

doorstep delivery by field workers. During the same period, use of injectables that were offered by female paramedics

at static centers had remained low. At the workshop, Dr. Rushikesh Maru of the Extension Project spoke about the

effective administration of the injectables within 15 days before or after the due date. Mr. AKM Rafiquz Zaman, former

director general of Family Planning, government of Bangladesh, requested further expansion in at least 1 thana of

each district and in all municipalities and urban slums. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 4514-06)
