The Arab Republic of Egypt has used family planning service delivery as the main vehicle for implementing its national family planning policy since 1965. This paper reports results of a study undertaken during 1975-77 using a systematic sample of 100 health units offering family planning services in 2 governorates of Egypt. The findings suggest that there is considerable potential for improving the service delivery system through better management. Broadening the choice of contraceptive methods, increasing the quality and quantity of outreach and communication activities for new and continuing contraceptors, and improving staff availability could lead to improvements in national program participation and continuation.
