Dr. Ron Allan Quimado of the DOH's Child, Adolescent and Maternal Health Division reported that the country is still 17 percent short of the Philippines' FP2030 commitment to attain 75 percent demand satisfied with family planning methods by the year 2030.

"For the target to be achieved, we should be able to serve around 10.177 million women, assuming total demand remains constant by 2030," he added.
