FRONTIERS PROJECT
Year 2000: Monitoring Family Planning Providers’ Compliance with the Quality-of-Care Norms of Peru’s Ministry of Health

FRONTIERS and the Ministry of Health (MOH) collaborated on this study, a follow-up to an earlier project, which assessed the extent to which family planning providers complied with revised guidelines from Peru’s MOH one year later. Providers displayed sustained efforts to assist clients in method choice, but focused too little on the method chosen by the client. Public health and client rights may be well served if the MOH makes its goal-setting process conform to explicit health goals of the client, rather than to the goal of reducing unmet need for contraception.
