Family Planning Counselling & Service Provision

The role of family planning counselling is to support a woman and her partner in choosing the method of family planning that best suits them and to support them in solving any problems that may arise with the selected method. During late pregnancy, after giving birth, it is important that the woman or the couple receives and discusses correct and appropriate information so that they can choose a method that best meets their needs. If a woman, preferably with her partner, is able to make an informed choice, she is more likely to be satisfied with the method chosen and continue its use.
