In last few years, usage of contraception has increased, women’s health and use of preventive health care improved for the families, stated Dr. Ubaidur Rob in Daily sun. He also mentioned, “The government needs to update the programme by taking into account the variations in programme performance and population needs. To improve programme performance, ensuring the equitable distribution of workforce and its capacity building and technical supervision and monitoring requires immediate attention. Evidence-based planning and delegation of authority to the district level and below are needed to promptly address gaps in service delivery.”
