Abstract
The International Fertility Research Program (IFRP) trained health personnel and provided FP services (including IUD"s and minilaparotomy female sterilization) in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina and supported national fertility research programs in Colombia, Mexico, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sudan, Malaysia, and Thailand. Limited supplies of tubal rings were provided for sterilization programs in Bangladesh and Mexico. Study topics included postpartum IUD"s in Mexico; the first multicenter hospital evaluation of copper IUD"s in Brazil; FP needs in Sao Paulo, Brazil; contraceptive distribution in Tunisia and Morocco; and an extensive 50-country hospital monitoring program on obstetric care and treatment of incomplete abortions. IFRP also conducted several FP seminars and conferences and supported publication of technical bulletins and the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics.
