Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. 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

3 consultants were in Egypt in October 1992 to evaluate 3 subprojects of the USAID-funded Population/Family

Planning II Project and to provide baseline data on training requirements to be used by the Population/Family

Planning III Project. The Regional Center for Training was successful in establishing almost all components of a

training organization. The Center and its satellite training centers had trained about 4400 family planning trainers

and service providers. This subproject needs to work on institutionalization, self-sustainability, and development and

implementation of an active marketing program. It should expand its sources of trainees and approach prime clients

frequently and responsively. The Teaching Hospital Organization (THO) subproject had indeed produced

commendable clinical guidelines for service providers and a fine obstetrics/gynecology training curriculum. 46

ob/gyn specialists in 8 public hospitals had undergone THO training. They have since instituted a superior level of

ob/gyn care at these hospitals. The THO method mix depended too much on the IUD and should expand its clinic-

based methods. The training component was the most successful THO component. The service delivery

component was weak. The Private Practitioners Family Planning Project was quite successful in meeting its goals.

It secured more than 1300 physicians who provided contraceptive services to about 204,000 women. This project

had trained more than 600 clinic assistants. It not only recruited physicians, but provided them with a support

system consisting of entry level training in family planning, marketing assistance, continuing medical education, and

a system to monitor quality of services. This project was so successful that there was a demand among physicians

for its training and support services. All 3 subprojects need to delineate and strengthen institutional mandates for

training, assess training needs, develop training plans, improve selection criteria for trainees, assess training effect,

institutionalize training system capacities, and improve coordination between training institutions. (PubHealth.info
