Pattaya, Thailand-
The 6th international conference on family planning kicked off right here in Pattaya last night, November 14th, 2022.
ICFP2022 is scheduled to take place for four conference days from November 14-17, 2022, and will bring together more than 3,500 global policymakers, researchers, activists, and advocates from over 125 countries to Pattaya.
The conference’s co-hosts are Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health; the Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RTCOG); Population and Community Development Association (PDA); and the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population & Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (USA).
ICFP2022’s theme this year, “Family Planning & Universal Health Coverage: Innovate. Collaborate. Accelerate,” examines the important ways that family planning supports and intersects with universal health coverage. The conference comes at a critical crossroads in global public health and will provide a platform for leaders to define their FP2030 milestones and commitments against the backdrop of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
