Conclusion: Family planning benefits all
|
“Committing human and financial resources to improving
family planning services will not only improve the health and well-being of
women and children, but it will also support efforts to achieve a sustainable
global population.” |
By allowing women the freedom to control the number and spacing
of their births, family planning helps women preserve their health and fertility
and also contributes to improving the overall quality of their lives. Family
planning also contributes to improving children’s health and ensuring that
they have access to adequate food, clothing, housing, and educational
opportunities. Family planning achieves these improvements in health and quality
of life very cost-effectively compared with investments in most other health and
social interventions. Committing human and financial resources to improving
family planning services will not only improve the health and wellbeing of women
and children, but it will also support efforts to achieve a sustainable global
population.
