Why is Family Planning Important?

Family planning allows individuals and couples to make informed choices about when and if they wish to have children. Effective contraception helps you plan pregnancies at the right time while protecting your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing.

Family planning can help:

• Prevent unplanned pregnancies
• Space pregnancies for improved maternal and baby health
• Improve reproductive health
• Reduce pregnancy-related complications
• Support educational and career goals
• Improve quality of life
• Reduce anxiety associated with unintended pregnancy
• Manage certain gynaecological conditions such as heavy periods or painful menstruation

Choosing the right contraceptive method is a personal decision, and what works for one person may not be suitable for another.

Our Family Planning Services

At Khans Medical Services we offer comprehensive contraceptive advice and procedures including:

We then discuss the most appropriate contraceptive options tailored specifically to your needs.
