The FPNTC-SDI will contribute to these goals by supporting the sustained delivery of quality family planning services. Quality family planning services were defined in U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and OPA clinical recommendations entitled Providing Quality Family Planning Services (QFP), which were published in CDC MMWR in April 2014. [1]QFP defines family planning services as those that help individuals and/or couples achieve their desired number and spacing of healthy children, which include: contraceptive services, pregnancy testing and counseling, services to help clients achieve pregnancy, basic infertility services, STD and other preconception health services.
