ABSTRACT

The advantages of the integration of family planning and maternal and child health services are discussed; and the

several opportunities afforded by contact with mothers for introducing the idea of family planning are listed.

Integrating family planning into maternal and child health is: 1) A logical means of reaching a large number of fertile

women; 2) A means of gaining acceptance of family planning through reducing child mortality rates; and 3) A method

for gaining many administrative and technical advantages for implementing family planning. The numerous

contacts with mothers that present opportunities for introducing family planning include: 1) Premarital counseling; 2)

Contacts with expectant parents at prenatal clinics or in individual and group counseling; 3) During the period of

care for postpartum patients; 4) During child care counseling; 5) After induced abortions; 6) During home visits; 7) In

conjunction with other social welfare services; 8) Courses in family life as part of school health services; 9) At birth

registration; and 10) Through village midwives. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2558-06)
