What is Family Planning?

Family planning enables individuals and couples to decide when to have children, how many children to have, and the spacing between pregnancies. It includes contraception, fertility awareness, pre-pregnancy counselling, and reproductive health education.

Proper family planning can:

• Prevent unintended pregnancies

• Improve maternal health

• Reduce pregnancy-related complications

• Allow healthy spacing between pregnancies

• Improve newborn health

• Support career and personal goals
