Also the insistence on the presence and consent of the male partners at least for the first visit to the health center by service providers sometimes restricts the use of the service since most of the male partners seem to show no interest in the use of contraceptives. There is always adequate awareness of Family Planning and its importance to both among men and women is all the time talked about over the radio programes TV and also put in posters for people to read.The readers of this book will learn that the range of family planning methods available to men is limited and this as a result inhibits men’s capacity to participate in fertility regulation.
