Family Health International (FHI) has been working in family planning and reproductive health programs in Indonesia since 1973. We have responded to local needs and collaborated with a network of interested and experienced investigators to evaluate the safety, efficacy and acceptability of family planning methods including IUDs, sterilization, oral contraceptives, injectables, Norplant, barrier methods, breastfeeding and natural family planning.
FHI has worked with local researchers to study maternal morbidity and mortality, including maternity care monitoring. Through the Women's Study Project, FHI examined the role of family planning on the empowerment, economic activity and household autonomy of Indonesian women. Our partners in FHI's family planning and reproductive health work in Indonesia have included BKKBN (the National Family Planning Coordination Board), DEPKES (Department of Health), Gajah Mada University, Harapan Kita Hospital, Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, the Indonesian Medical Association, PKMI (DEPKES Center for Health Education) and the University of Indonesia.
