  • Providing sufficient time between children
  • Increasing birth spacing in families

Description

The rapid spread of family planning in the last two decades has provided evidence from almost every country that birth-spacing can have a revolutionary impact on maternal and child health.

Implementation

Studies in India, Turkey, the Philippines and Lebanon, for example, have shown that infant mortality rates for babies born within one year of a previous birth are between two and four times as high as for babies born after an interval of two years or more.
