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).

ABSTRACT

In the last 10 years Brazilian families have begun to recognize the need for limiting the size of their families as

Brazilian leaders have identified the necessity of integrating family planning into national policies and programs.

The morbidity and mortality rates of mothers and their children is a serious problem, and the inclusion of family

planning into maternal and child health care services is regarded as a solution. Despite the recognition of the need

for family planning services, no effective measures have been taken until now. However, it does appear that family

planning will be incorporated into the programs of the Ministry of Health according to a television speech made by the

Minister during this year. Family planning is a factor that can effect the social and economic development of the

country as well as its public health. Brazilian politicians agree that it should be an aspect of national politics. They

have been speaking out in support of making contraceptive services available to the people but without government

involvement in the determination of the size of individual families. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2585-06)
