The various methods of family planning discussed are natural methods, mechanical methods, hormonal methods, and surgical methods.
The National Family Welfare Programme was launched in 1952 as the National Family Planning Program, making India the first country to do so. It aims to stabilize the population at 130 million by 2050 through small family norms and improve quality of life. The program includes administration, training, social and health education, and supplies and services related to maternal and child health, family planning, and more. The Reproductive and Child Health Program was launched in 1997 to further promote maternal, newborn, and child health and survival through various services and interventions.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

INSTITUTIONS WITH ROOMING-IN AND BREASTFEEDING PRACTICES AND FOR

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in Congress
assembled:
Section 1. Short Title. – This Act shall be known as the “Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act
of 2009″.
Section 2. Section 2 of Republic Act No. 7600 is hereby amended to read as follows:
Sec. 2. Declaration of Policy. – The State adopts rooming-in as a national policy to encourage,
protect and support the practice of breastfeeding. It shall create an environment where basic
physical, emotional, and psychological needs of mothers and infants are fulfilled through the
practice of rooming-in and breastfeeding.
“The State shall likewise protect working women by providing safe and healthful working
conditions, taking into account their maternal functions, and such facilities and opportunities that
will enhance their welfare and enable them to realize their full potential in the service of the nation.
This is consistent with international treaties and conventions to which the Philippines is a signatory
such as the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), which
emphasizes provision of necessary supporting social services to enable parents to combine family
obligations with work responsibilities; the Beijing Platform for Action and Strategic Objective,
2. which promotes harmonization of work and family responsibilities for women and men; and the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognizes a child’s inherent right to life and the
State’s obligations to ensure the child’s survival and development.
“Breastfeeding has distinct advantages which benefit the infant and the mother, including the
hospital and the country that adopt its practice. It is the first preventive health measure that can be
given to the child at birth. It also enhances mother-infant relationship. Furthermore, the practice
of breastfeeding could save the country valuable foreign exchange that may otherwise be used for
milk importation.
“Breastmilk is the best food since it contains essential nutrients completely suitable for the infant’s
needs. It is also nature’s first immunization, enabling the infant to fight potential serious infection.
It contains growth factors that enhance the maturation of an infant’s organ systems.
“Towards this end, the State shall promote and encourage breastfeeding and provide the specific
measures that would present opportunities for mothers to continue expressing their milk and/or
breastfeeding their infant or young child.
