The Philippine Family Planning Program

The Philippine Family Planning Program aims to empower individuals and couples to achieve their desired family size through safe and legal family planning methods. The Department of Health, in partnership with local governments and other organizations, ensures universal access to family planning information and services. Key objectives include helping couples plan their families responsibly and improving reproductive health. Family planning reduces maternal and child mortality by preventing high-risk pregnancies and closely spaced births. It also benefits families by allowing adequate childcare and enabling parents to support their children's health, education and future. While family planning use has increased in recent years, further training and commodity support is needed to improve access and accurate data recording.
