ABSTRACT

The International Post Partum Family Planning Programme, initiated by the Population Council, started in India in

1969 in 59 selected hospitals. Since then the program has spread and will be put into effect in all hospitals

providing maternity services in the country. The program aims at increasing acceptance of a method of family

planning within 3 months of delivery or abortion. The Indian government supplies contraceptives, staff funding, clinic

building funding, and some technical assistance for the program. Vasectomies and tubectomies have increased

since the program began. There is hope that the IUD will be successful. The program integrates maternal and child

health services in a successful combination. Lack of adequate space, equipment, time and administration for the

program hinders further success. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3082-06)
