This title is an acquisition.

This presentation is partly in the form of animated colour drawings illustrating how and when conception takes place, and partly in the form of lectures by doctors to couples attending a family planning clinic. The various contraceptive devices and their effectiveness are shown and explained, as well as the surgical methods of vasectomy and tubal ligation.
