KARACHI – Health experts at Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) have said that when it comes to success in family planning, population constraint and maternal and child morbidity Pakistan was still significantly lagging behind some of its neighbours.
They stated this while speaking at a two-day ‘Advocacy seminar on family planning and reproductive health’ held at the AKUH here on Tuesday.
However, they said, some improvement were also made in some fields as total fertility rate, meaning the number of children per woman on average, had declined to float around 3.6, down from almost six despite family planning was almost always viewed with skepticism in the country.
