t-align: justify;">ISLAMABAD, Oct 02 (APP):Coordinator to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Malik Mukhtar Ahmad on Wednesday said that the government is committed to expand family planning services to safeguard women’s health.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He was addressing a ceremony on comprehensive national study titled “Safeguarding Women’s Health: Trends, Inequities, and Opportunities in Pakistan’s Abortion and Post-Abortion Care Services, organized by the Population Council, in partnership with the Guttmacher Institute.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He said the government prioritizes reproductive health as part of its broader agenda to strengthen healthcare services and reduce health inequities.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He said Pakistan, with a population exceeding 240 million, faces significant reproductive health challenges.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">The country’s high population growth rate of 2.55% annually continues to strain health services and socioeconomic development.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He said that reproductive health, including safe abortion, post-abortion care, and family planning, is critical to improving health outcomes and advancing national progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG2030).
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He said that the findings of the “Safeguarding Women’s Health” report offer valuable insights that will help shape policies ensuring access to safe abortion services, post-abortion care, and improved family planning services across Pakistan.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">He said that the role of family planning is crucial in preventing unintended pregnancies, which are often a precursor to unsafe abortions and related complications.
t-align: justify;">
t-align: justify;">“By increasing access to effective contraceptive methods, we can significantly reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, thereby decreasing the demand for abortion services.”
