About this work
Description
The film opens with a comment that family planning services have not had a big enough impact; the footage shown is from the Philippines and shows a rather chaotic clinic. The film then goes on to discuss the criteria for success for establishing a clinic. Firstly, it needs to be located in a convenient place. The waiting area should be large (very many people are shown waiting). Other aspects of administration are seen (leaflets, posters etc). A group of women are shown waiting for a film to be projected. An examining area has to be private and the facilities needed are shown. Some of the footage appears to be shot in a South American Spanish-speaking country. A vasectomy is seen through the operating room window. Patients are shown recovering from minor surgery. Female practitioners (ethnicity appears to be Indian) are shown. Procedures for disposing of post-examination supplies are described for the benefit of nurses and clinic staff. A mother and baby attending a clinic is then shown (ethnicity appears to be African). A male field worker speaks to factory workers promoting good family planning practices. Volunteers are trained. A mobile clinic with field workers is seen in action. Good practice and a respectful attitude to patients are encouraged.
