We
conducted a survey of contraceptive practices in teaching hospitals in
Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Nigeria and the Philippines. We sent a book edited by
Robert Hatcher, "Contraceptive Technology: the 19th Edition," to the
264 teaching hospitals who responded. Atiqur Rahman Khan, who has had numerous
positions in the government of Bangladesh, conducted the one-page survey in
Bangladesh. Dr. Osama Refaat, Deputy Director of the Regional Center for
Training in Family Planning and Reproductive Health of the OB/GY Hospital,
Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, was the principal investigator in
Egypt. Dr. Felix Barrah (Director, El Norf Clinic and Maternity Gombe)
conducted the survey in Nigeria, and Dr. Fides Rodriguez-Ababon (Chairperson, Department
of OB\GYN, Davao Medical School Foundation, Inc. & DMSFI Hospital) in the
Philippines. The responses from India were sent directly from the teaching
hospitals. The bar charts giving the preliminary responses are available upon
request.
