Description
Medical Reference Publication

Excerpt
The primary purpose of these guidelines is to assist those responsible for the development and management of family planning and health programmes in initiating or expanding female sterilization services. This book is designed to serve the needs of various types of personnel, including managers, administrators, and service providers. It shows how to extend the accessibility of female sterilization through different types of services and delivery channels, and how to develop awareness of it as a contraceptive option. Basic technical information about tuba1 occlusion, its effects, and related medical issues is included so that service staff will have the necessary background and understanding. Although this publication is not intended to be a manual for training in the surgical techniques of female sterilization, it includes information that will be useful to those responsible for establishing and administering training programmes for female sterilization.
