“Failing to plan is planning to fail!” –this adage rings true in all aspects of our lives. Be it our academic, professional or personal facets, we all need to have a plan to maximize the chances of a fruitful and successful lifestyle. 

The Importance of Family Planning:

When starting off a family, having the right number of years between offsprings is essential, not just for the good upbringing of the children, but also for the wellbeing of the mother. According to research cited by the World Health Organization, the use of contraception prevents pregnancy-related health risks for women. 

Moreover, when births are separated by less than two years, the infant mortality rate is 45% higher than it is when births are 2-3 years and 60% higher than it is when births are four or more years apart. 

A healthy and happy mother ensures the care of the entire family. The availability of family planning services allows couples to plan birth spacing and family size which results in an improved lifestyle for families and eventually contributes to a stronger social fabric. 

These are the reasons why more and more couples are actively planning extending their families by the use of contraceptives in Pakistan.
