Women Members of Parliament have asked the government to scale up family planning programmes to prevent unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions. The MPs under their umbrella organisation, the Network for African Women Ministers and Parliamentarians (NAWMP), noted on Friday that whereas the country has made some progress in reducing maternal deaths, more effort is needed to promote safe motherhood.

Speaking at an engagement organised by RHU on July 21, the MPs, including youth Mps and members of the Network of African Women Ministers and Parliamentarians (NAWMP), noted that there was need for increased funding to reproductive health of young people. The meeting aimed at orienting new members of the ninth parliament on the status of reproductive health of young people in Uganda and was funded through the William and Flora Hewlett project.
