The role of law in public health: the case of family planning in the Philippines.

Compared to neighboring countries, the Philippines has high fertility rates and a low prevalence of modern-method contraception use. The Philippine government faces political and cultural barriers to addressing family planning needs, but also legal barriers erected by its own policies. We conducted a review of laws and policies relating to family planning in the Philippines in order to examine how the law may facilitate or constrain service provision. The methodology consisted of three phases. First, we collected and analyzed laws and regulations relating to the delivery of family planning services. Second, we conducted a qualitative interview study. Third, we synthesized findings to formulate policy recommendations. We present a conceptual model for understanding the impact of law on public health and discuss findings in relation to the roles of health care provider regulation, drug regulation, tax law, trade policies, insurance law, and other laws on access to modern-method contraceptives.

[Family planning, what's new?].

Women rely on complete and precise information given by doctors and family planning consultants for choosing a suitable contraceptive. Available hormonal contraceptives in Switzerland are presented. Personal and family history are essential for evaluating medical contraindications to combined hormonal methods. Combined pills, vaginal hormonal rings and combined patches share the same contraceptive effects, contraindications and overall cardiovascular risks. Prescribers should prefer second generation pills because of lower risks of venous thromboembolic disease. Non oral methods are generally associated with improved compliance and in the case of vaginal rings, with fewer side effects. Progestogen only contraceptives (pills, implants and intrauterine devices) can be used in patients with known intolerance and/or contraindications to estrogens.
