ABSTRACT

A brief history of family planning in the Middle East and North Africa points out that the first written references to

family planning date back nearly 4000 years. The first modern efforts in the region began in the 1930s in Egypt.

Currently there are 2 distinct reasons for starting family planning programs; 1) for family welfare and benefit to

maternal and child health and 2) the provision of family planning services as part of an over-all policy to reduce the

birth rate. Egypt, Iran, Morocco and Tunisia adapted family planning programs to reduce the birth rate. Family

planning activities in the other countries of the region are based on the health and family welfare approaches. An

annotated list of Regional Training Member Associations is included. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 92-06)
