PubHealth.info®
(a subsidiary of
PakMed) presents scientific information mainly
based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing
population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health,
and communicable and
non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are
affecting a significant portion of population in developing and
developed
countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health
topics under category "Contraception
(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
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. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Norplant contraceptive subdermal implants. |
| [Unpublished] [1983]. 12, 2 p. |
| All available evidence suggests that the Norplant contraceptive subdermal implant system, developed by the |
| Population Council, will have a significant programmatic impact on family planning efforts throughout the world. At |
| this point, the Council's objective is to coordinate an orderly transition from its research and development program for |
| Norplant implants to widespread distribution by Leiras Pharmaceuticals, selected for the manufacture and |
| distribution of the implants. Once this contraceptive method has been accepted and informational and training |
| networks have been established, the Council's role is expected to diminish. Historically, efforts to introduce new |
| contraceptive technologies into the developing world met with limited success, largely because of gaps between |
| knowledge about the performance of a new technology and use. The Population Council is undertaking to inform |
| decision makers and family planning program managers in the international population community and in developing |
| countries of the advantages of Norplant implants for women who desire long-term protection against pregnancy yet do |
| not want sterilization. An interdisciplinary project team of biomedical research and international program specialists |
| has been established to manage and give scientific and technical support to the introduction of the implants. The |
| regional coordinating offices will identify leading institutions in selected countries to serve as model country-level |
| resource centers. These resource centers will provide professional trainers, develop programs for management of all |
| aspects of training, and establish a network of trained personnel. The marketing activities of Leiras will be the |
| primary conduit for information dissemination through private channels, while the Council will launch an information |
| program for the public sector. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2044-06) |
