Organization of family planning services in the Republic of Tatarstan

Family planning, the main goal of which is the birth of desired and healthy children in the family, is one of the priority areas of maternal and child health services. The urgency of this problem is determined by a number of reasons: the high frequency of abortions as the main method of birth control, the low level of use of modern methods of contraception as an alternative to abortion, the lack of reproductive culture of the population, poor awareness in this area and the absence of a sex education system, a significant increase in cases of sexually transmitted diseases.
