PAMMALAGIP:

21/07/2025

Nitong ika 18 ng Hunyo 2025, naghandog ng kaalaman at impormasyon tungkol sa Family planning sina Dr. Iris Rae C. Santos, Dr. Rosana Garvida at Ma’am Wilsie Edu isang midwife ng Bangui District Hospital.

Nang itanong ang mga madla, kung ano ang unang pumapasok sa kanilang isipan pag narinig ang salitang Family Planning, ayon sa kanila ito ay ang pagtigil sa pagkakaroon ng madaming anak o ang hindi na muling pagbubuntis ng kababaihan.

Ano nga ba ang Family Planning?

Ito ang pagkakaroon ng bilang ng mga anak kung kailangan, gusto at handa na ang isa pamilya. Tumutukoy din ito sa paggamit ng ligtas at epektibong modernong paraan, para maiwasan ang hindi inaasahang pagdadalang-tao ng isang babae.

Hindi lang ito ang benepisyo ng pagpaplano ng pamilya, nag bibigay-daan din ito para sa mag asawa na magkaroon ng mas maraming oras, maibigay ang mga pangangailangan at mapagkukunan para sa kanilang pamilya at personal na pag-unlad. (DOH)

Ang pagpaplano ng pamilya ay wag natin ipagbalewa, Tara usap tayo! bukas ang aming institusyon para tulungan kayo!
