Words on Marble: Dr. Olusegun Ogboye

“Lagos state had a CPR (Contraceptive Prevalence Rate) target of 74%, but we are currently at 49.1% with an annual increase of about 0.5%. With the figure we are getting, it became clear to us that we needed to support more strongly the private sector in Lagos who cater to about 65% of our population. We have been trying to implement relevant policies & strategies, and one of the interventions is the implementation of the post pregnancy services which has been harmonized into the state costed family planning implementation plans.”
