Abstract: | Family planning must be integrated into the total Indian community health service. Family planning should be preparation from childhood onward for the role of responsible parenthood, and it must be considered part of the complete health program. The present network of health services is inadequate to cover the whole country. Private physicians should be used in the Maternity and Child Health Services program. The way family planning is taught in the medical colleges must be rethought. It is an interdisciplinary study, involving clinical, biological, and social aspects. Various family planning topics needing research are mentioned. |
