BACKGROUND

The family planning (FP) Program aims to provide universal access to FP information and services whenever and wherever these are needed. To achieve this goal, the Department of Health FP Program will (1) address the need to help couples and individuals achieve their desired family size within the context of responsible parenthood and improve their reproductive health to attain sustainable development, and (2) ensure that quality FP services are available in DOH-retained hospitals, LGU-managed health facilities, non-government organizations (NGOs), and the private sector.

The Department of Health, with generous support from the World Health Organization - Philippines, has recently finalized the draft of The Philippine Family Planning Standards Manual 2023 Edition. This Manual provides updates on the latest contraceptive technology based on 2018 WHO Global Handbook for Family Planning Providers as well as other scientific journals.
