Introduction

Family planning is the ability of an individual or couple to decide when to have children how many children they desire in a family and how to space their children. It is a means of promoting the health of women and families. Family planning is part of a strategy to reduce the high maternal, infant and childmortality and morbidity. Family planning is also a critical component of reproductive health programmes. This CME series is a case-based series dedicated to strengthen and improve the clinical knowledge and skills of primary care practitioners as they serve, support, and deliver care to patients. The series includes lecture presentations with examples of clinical scenarios that cover an array of different topics.
