Profile
The Comprehensive Family Planning Service (CFPS) has been nationally recognized as training and service facility providing experience, expertise and technical assistance to health workers and institutions involved in family planning. It has been providing information, education, counselling, communication and method provision on an in-house and itinerant/outreach services (having gone to all regions of the country).
The CFPS was established in 1970 by Dr. Ruben Apelo, the Head of the Department of Gyne. The center was opened to answer the government’s call for population regulation. It was initially funded by the Population Council of New York as a participant in the International FP Program. The clinic started in 1973 as one room, one doctor program funded by the Population Commission. In July 1974, in recognition of the excellent performance of the center, USAID financed the construction of the building where it is presently housed. Gradually, the center was recognized due to the big number of acceptors being registered in the program, its quality care training program and researches being conducted.
At present, it has 31 regular staff composed of physicians, nurses, midwives and administrative staff. It is occupying a building of its own with 6 examining rooms, offices, conference room and pantry.
The main objective of the service is to support the Philippine FP Program’s goal which is “To provide universal access to family planning information and services whenever and wherever these are needed”.
