Abstract

Pakistan is a country of more than 241.49 million people; the large and diverse population poses complex challenges in executing effective family planning (FP) services [1]. The improvement of FP faces continued barriers that particularly affect populations in rural areas and low socioeconomic status since they experience limited health access laterally with social and cultural barriers. The PDHS 2017-18 indicates the importance of as only 34% of women in Pakistan use a modern method of contraception, and 17% have an unmet need [2]. These gaps can only be addressed through a collective and innovative effort to redesign various sectors of the healthcare system in the country.
