Abstract:
This paper discusses some ideas useful for the implementation of programs of quality of care in family planning units. In the first part we present an analytical framework in which the place of quality of family planning services as a determinant of fertility is established. Part two deals with a set of concepts which includes the several elements of quality of care: structure, process and result elements of family planning services. Finally, the paper ends with a set of recommendations for the design of the indicators and standards needed to operationalize at field level a quality of care program in family planning units.
