According to Mrs. Ijeoma Onuorah, a reproductive health professional, using contraceptives for family planning lowers the chance of developing cancer rather than causing it.
Onuorah made this statement during the 2023 International Day of Families, held on Friday in Awka and sponsored by the Anambra State Ministry of Health in partnership with the Ministry of Women and Social Welfare.
The annual May 15 celebration was created to highlight families’ value and encourage their contribution to society.
This year’s festival will center on “Demographic trends and families.”
Onuorah suggested that families choose whichever form of family planning they deem to be the safest and most advantageous for the general health and well-being of society as well as the family.
“Families are reluctant to adopt family planning techniques due to a number of misunderstandings and falsehoods, which has resulted in the deaths of several women.
