ABSTRACT

The Institute has begun a family planning program as an extension of its medical and social services. The program

is fully voluntary, and its primary purpose is to promote health and not to affect population growth directly. The

program does not constitute a separate service, but an extension of existing services. It is known that a large part of

the population is interested in limiting family size, but a vast educational program is required to attain that goal. The

program will b e conducted through the 854 medical units of the Institute, starting in 2 clinics in the Federal District

in 1972, to be soon extended to the rest of the country. The program will use different types of contraceptives,

distributed according to patients' desires, subject to medical criteria. The program involves training and refresher

instruction for personnel, both medical and paramedical, information and education of the population, and provision

of contraceptives upon request. Educational units are being established in clinics, and there are continuous and

periodic evaluation systems to measure the effectiveness and results of the program. The program will benefit users

both in the area of health and of welfare. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 91-06)
