Now such attitudes have disappeared. Everybody seems to be aware about family planning. But the government should focus more on rural areas. Later the government changed the organizational structure of health system and assigned doctors as district in-charge. They were given the job that used to be handled by the district health officer.
Doctors now have to look after public health programs.
The result is that there are many districts were there are no health officers. When the doctor is assigned as the district in-charge, public health officers come under him. Before, these officers were autonomous. The new mechanism has created a lot of misunderstanding. If a doctor is assigned to a district, his whole day is spent on signing documents.
