County Has Family Planning Clinic At least 2,498 women in Lau rens County need family planning (birth control) services the S. C. State Board of Health said today. Figures released by the Board show that 19,757 women in South Carolina’s 46 counties now at tend family planning clinics, but that over 140,000 more women need to. Why do they? According to Dr. Hilla Sheriff, Chief, Bureau of Personal Health Services, South Carolina has the highest rate of infant deaths of all but three states, and highest rate of ma ternal (mother at birth) deaths of all states except Mississippi. “Many of these infant and mo ther deaths can be prevented if the mothers will attend our clinics and learn to practice child spacing,* Dr. Sheriff said. “Far too many die because the mothers are having children too often. They are not healthy enough to endure the burden of an addi tional pregnancy. And the in fants who live suffer as a re sult of being unwanted, being born into unsuitable environments, or to mothers not physically able to care for them. “We now have at least one family planning clinic per month in each of our 46 county health departments," Dr. Sheriff con tinued. “Any woman in a low in come group of child bearing age can attend. These women receive information about different con traceptives so each can learn a method of birth control accept able to her. “Before a woman receives con traceptives she is given medical examinations including a he moglobin test, and cervical smear for cancer. The doctor then recommends the method he thinks will best suit the particu lar woman. None of these pa tients are denied contraceptives or clinic service because of lack of funds. “One of our problems is that many women miss appointments denying other women a chance for the service. Public health nurses follow these patients through and set up future ap pointments for them,”Dr.Sheriff said. “Out of the nearly 20,000 women on the program last year there were only 365pregnancies. And this shows more than any thing, how much we could do if the 140,000 women who need the service would come to the clinics. Most of the 365 said they had become pregnant because they discontinued using the con traceptives or they had used them inconsistently," Dr. Sheriff em phasized. “We think that this low preg nancy rate among the women who attended the clinics is a proud attainment. An even more im portant score is that 6,954 more women came to the clinics last year than the year before." Dr. Sheriff said that family planning at the Board of Health goes back to 1939 when the State Medical Association and Board of Health made birth control one of its official services. The pur pose was to reduce the appalling toll of mother and infant deaths, and great strides havet>een made in death reduction since then. “But ignorance of the methods of control available is still wide spread among the women of our State," she said. “To be fully accepted by these people who need it most, family planning services must continue to have the cooperation of doc tors, nurses, social workers, health educators and volunteers. And this opportunity should be extended to all South Carolina women wanting it. “Bith control will provide a powerful tool to interrupt the vic ious circle of poverty and dis ease for millions of people in our country and throughout the world. And it will contribute greatly to decreasing the number of maternal deaths inSouthCaro- lina.” U. S. Savings Bonds and Free dom Shares are “indestructible”.
