1.1 General Introduction
Bangladesh launched its state sponsored unique family planning programme in early fifties. Since the programme initiated in 1951, Bangladesh’s demographic and health profile has changed considerably. The fertility and mortality rates have declined to about two-fifth. The National Family Welfare Programme in Bangladesh has traditionally sought to promote responsible and Planned Parenthood through voluntary and free choice of family planning methods best suited to individual acceptors. The programme now aims to cover all aspects of women’s reproductive health throughout their lives. With regard to family planning, the new approach emphasizes the target-free promotion of contraceptive use among eligible couples, the provision to couples to choose contraceptive methods and to assure high quality care (IIPS and ORC Macro, 2000).
About one-half million mothers in developing countries die annually due to unwanted pregnancy and its complications (Kavari and Keshtkaran, 2005). Unwanted pregnancy can lead to negative consequences such as deterioration of maternal and child health as well as increased maternal mortality. Thousands of women each year have problems due to illegal abortion and infections from such abortions. Illegal abortion is one of the major factors in maternal death (Kavari and Keshtkaran, 2005). Contraception is as an effective mean of combating the problem of unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions. It is an effective means of family planning (FP) and fertility control and therefore very important in promoting maternal and child health (Oye-Adeniran et al., 2006). In Armenia, as in all former Soviet Union countries, there is a high incidence of induced abortions, and it is one of the main methods of birth control (NSS, 2006).
