Postpartum programmes have
been implemented in all the states of India since
1969. Postpartum programmes have been started
in all hospitals offering antenatal services
under the family welfare services.
The main aim of this programme is to
encourage acceptance of family planning techniques
by couples during the reproductive age of the
woman. It especially aims at
motivating the females reaching the hospital for
prenatal, antenatal & postpartum services,
to accept contraception. |
