(ĐN)- Over the past time, Dong Nai has made on-going efforts to improve population quality, maintain a reasonable birth rate and ensure productive health-care services, said Deputy Director Huynh Cao Hai of Health Department at the meeting on August 2 to review population and family planning work.
However, he also stressed that the birth-rate has been declining, but this is believed to be short-term and unsustainable, and gender imbalance is likely to pose a headache for the province in future, with live births of males currently outnumbering females (106 boys to every 100 girls).
In the coming time, education campaigns should be continued to raise public awareness on family planning and gender equality.
