Society for Family Health (SFH) has embarked on a sensitisation campaign, to correct erroneous impressions, myths and misconceptions about the side effects of the different family planning methods.
Family planning experts at the sensitisation campaign organised by SFH at Ajeromi Local Government Area (LGA), Lagos State, said myths and misconceptions are the major reasons for the poor uptake of family planning methods in the LGA and Lagos state at large.
To change the narrative, the family planning and reproductive health manager, Ajeromi LGA, Yetunde Omoteji said there is a need to create more awareness on the benefits of family planning, adding that couples and adults need to be acquainted with the modern methods of contraceptives that prevent diseases.
She disclosed that SFH, in commemoration of International Women’s Day (IWD), organised the sensitisation campaign to empower women with family planning knowledge.
