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

A conference (Expert Meeting) of senior family planning administrators from Indonesia, Khmer Republic, Laos,

Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and the Republic of Vietnam and commercial marketing

executives sought to establish a dialogue in which commercial practices could be applied to public programs. The

systems approach to distribution, supply procedures, personnel, budget and financial control, and product promotion

is intrinsic to the administrative marketing infrastructure in the private sector. Commercial firms should be recruited

as convenient, efficient distribution channels for both promotion of the idea of family planning and the actual

contraceptives. Within the working environment, family planning information can be easily disseminated by

commercial employers. Workers can be encouraged to accept the value of small family size. The primary difference

in public family planning programs and commercial projects is in motive. Family planning is essentially a service

oriented program, whereas commercial enterprises are profit oriented and under no constraints other than a license

from the government. Family planners are often criticised for political, religious, or social/cultural reasons not

usually encountered in the market place. Caution must be exercised in the distribution of drugs, and most

contraceptives are drugs. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2550-06)
