7.1  Family planning

- Family planning activities will be expanded to cover more of the population through the employment of health volunteers.

- Permanent contraceptive methods such as sterilization will be expanded. For other provisional type contraceptive methods, measures will be taken to have applicants share the expenses involved.

- Social measures will be taken, e.g., the revision of the law so that abortion can be performed legally for reasons of health and social considerations as well as the enforcement of the Government incentive system related to allowances given to a certain number of children in education and the provision of various social services.

- Resources from other government agencies will be mobilized in support of family planning activities.
