Since the implementation of family planning in China for 30 years, population and family planning work has formed six technical service teams at the central, provincial, prefectural, county, township and village levels. Based on the community and family, the group carries out publicity and education, technical services, personnel training, contraceptive distribution and information consultation for healthy and sub-healthy people, and implements family planning and reproductive health promotion plans. More than 6.5438+million cases of long-acting contraception are implemented every year, and more than 6.5438+million sets of condoms and contraceptives are distributed, which avoids a large number of unplanned pregnancies and tens of thousands of surgical complications and provides advice and guidance for hundreds of millions of families entering the village.
Reproductive health consulting service personnel are distributed in population and family planning system, maternal and child health care system, civil affairs departments, women's federations, Communist Youth League, disabled persons' federations and other social organizations, various reproductive health hospitals, adult health pharmacies and other institutions. There are 6,543,800 village-level consulting service personnel in the population and family planning system, including 6,543,800 consulting service personnel at or above the county level and more than 30,000 employees in the maternal and child health care system.
Generally speaking, the quality of employees is uneven. The population and family planning system pays more attention to family planning, contraception, prenatal and postnatal care, etc. The intervention of birth defects and reproductive tract infections, the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS, sexual psychology and sexual health care are relatively backward, and the ability to provide consulting services is relatively limited. The staff of other institutions lack systematic counseling training on population and reproductive health, and their knowledge and skills are difficult to meet the counseling needs.
The 11th Five-Year Plan period is an important period for the specialization of population and family planning teams in China. It is of great significance to establish a new profession of reproductive health consultants and the corresponding professional qualification certificate system for strengthening the construction of reproductive health consultants and improving the quality of our population.
