Family Planning in India:
Empowering Informed Choices
Despite being home to one of the world's largest family planning programs, India still faces significant gaps in contraceptive awareness and access. According to NFHS-5 data, the unmet need for family planning in India remains around 9.4%, meaning millions of women who want to delay or prevent pregnancy lack access to effective contraception.
In urban settings like the city, women today have more choices than ever — from hormonal pills and IUDs to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) and permanent methods. Yet, many women rely on outdated or ineffective methods simply because they were never properly counseled about modern options. The key to effective family planning is informed, non-judgmental counseling from a trusted gynecologist.
Dr. Vinita Khemani provides comprehensive family planning counseling that respects each woman's unique circumstances — her health, age, family goals, and medical history. Whether you're looking to space pregnancies, prevent future pregnancies, or reverse a previous procedure, Dr. Khemani ensures you understand all your options and their implications before making a decision.
