Question

Through which types of facilities are NFWP services provided in rural areas?

Options

• Only tertiary care hospitals

• Sub-centres, Primary Health Centres, and Community Health Centres

• Only private clinics

• Only district-level medical colleges

Answer 1

In rural areas, services under the National Family Welfare Programme are provided through a three-tiered system: Sub-centres (basic units), Primary Health Centres (PHCs), and Community Health Centres (CHCs). This hierarchical structure ensures that contraceptive services and family planning counselling reach even remote rural populations.
