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.
"Our target for family planning demand satisfied with modern family planning is 75 percent and we are at 58 percent," Quimado said during the 2024 National Conference on Family Planning held in Pasig City yesterday.
"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.
