Vanguard family planning acceptors in Senegal.

This study examines contraceptive use among clients at the three clinics providing family planning services in Dakar, Senegal in early 1983. Most clients first became interested in family planning following the birth of a child, and most are interested in spacing future pregnancies, although one-third state that they want no more children. The clinic itself was found to be an important determinant of the type of contraceptive used, with only the government-operated clinic providing a balance between IUDs, oral contraceptives, and barrier methods. Nearly half of the clients interviewed said that a lack of knowledge about contraception is the reason for the low contraceptive prevalence rates among Senegalese women; another frequently cited reason was the opposition of the husband. Most clients reported the broadcast media to be the best means of providing family planning information to potential acceptors.

Signing of HIV / AIDS strategy.

The Philippines has scored a very important success in controlling the spread of HIV as it launched the Philippine National HIV/AIDS Strategy. This document will serve as a guide to all the policies and programs that will be created in relation to HIV/AIDS. President Fidel Ramos, who personally launched the strategy in Malacanang Palace, said that it is not too late to prevent a large-scale epidemic at this point, although he admitted that the solutions would not be simple. He said that the fight against HIV/AIDS must be universal and should not be left to the Department of Health alone. Since HIV affects all sectors of society, the president stressed the importance of multisectoral responses to slow down the HIV epidemic. Secretary Ramiro, for his part, said that the strategy prescribes the national response to the epidemic and reduces its impact on individuals, families, and communities. A project of the Philippine National AIDS Council through its Committee on Policy Development (CPD), the National HIV/AIDS Strategy had undergone months of thorough nationwide consultative workshops and researches. With its launching, this unified multisectoral approach will eventually create a greater impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
