Because of the high birth rate, the Ministry of Hleath creates a National Committee to meet the new challeges

Professor Kibouya, head of the Algerian Association for the family organization, which is active since more than 22 years in Algeria revealed, on the sidelines of the International Day of Contraceptives, which is revived for the first time in Algeria, on the establishment of a national committee to meet the new challenges, mainly in facing the situation and continuing to urge the Algerian families for giving more importance for the organization in order to get positive results, as well as the need to provide contraceptives in the Algerian market.

• Decision of the Ministry of Health to create this committee came after registering a relative increase in the births, which declined from 3.8% in the eighties to 1.6% in the nineties, to rise again during the current year by about 1.9% despite 60% of the Algerian families use contraceptives.
• Professor Kibouya attributed this new reality to the high average age of marriage in Algeria from year to year by 20%, which means a longer period of fertility for women and more births.
