What are the Barriers to Accessing Family Planning Services?
Several barriers limit access to family planning services. These include socio-cultural factors, economic constraints, limited availability of services, and lack of education and awareness. In many societies, cultural and religious beliefs may discourage the use of contraceptives. Economic barriers include the cost of contraceptives and associated healthcare services. Additionally, in rural and underserved areas, the lack of healthcare facilities and trained personnel can impede access to family planning.
