Family Planning

Family planning benefits the health and well-being of men, women and families throughout the world. Using contraception can help to avoid unwanted pregnancies; protect against STDs, including HIV/AIDS; and provide other health benefits.

Family planning services include counseling and education, pre-conception care, screening and laboratory tests, and family planning methods. Family planning methods include abstinence, natural family planning, and all FDA approved methods of fertility control.

Couples want family planning because they want to give their children a good start in life.

• Family planning enables parents to provide their children with food, shelter and education.
• This provides their children with a better chance of growing up to become prosperous adults.
