Korean Family Planning & Maternal Child Health Association of DPRK
The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK): Family Health Association of Korea (FHAK) formerly Korean Family Planning & Maternal and Child Health Association (KFP&MCHA) was established in 1990. Family Health Association of Korea is actively supported by the government to diversify family planning services and to improve their quality. One of the major challenges is geographic inequality. 80% of the country’s land mass is mountainous, with mining constituting a major industry. Large numbers of people live in this area, working in coal and mineral mines and forest stations. Fertility rates are much higher than in large urban areas, the contraceptive prevalence rate is much lower, and the number of trained family planning advisers is limited. FHAK has targeted these people with reproductive healthcare and information, education and communication (IEC) programmes. Contraceptive prevalence has increased, and the method mix has shifted significantly from IUD to pills, condoms and sterilization. In 2010, FHAKdelivered 538,000 condoms and 138,000 sexual and reproductive health services through 17 service points, including 9 permanent clinics and 8 mobile facilities.
