The impact of organization of family planning clinics on waiting time.

Mathematical simulations and structured observations were used to assess factors in family planning clinic procedures responsible for long waiting times for clients. Principal causes of unnecessarily long waiting times in selected clinics of a Mexican program included: inflexibilty of client's routes within the clinic and of staff functions, late arrival of staff, patterns of client arrival times, and the proportion of clients seen by the doctor.

Introduction of non-scalpel vasectomy at the Mexican Social Security Institute.

Since government approval of the Mexican Family Planning Program in 1977, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has been one of the major family planning service providers in Mexico. No-scalpel vasectomy, a refined surgical vasectomy technique developed and widely used in China, has been introduced in 20 countries, including Mexico. This paper will describe the experience of the IMSS in introducing the no-scalpel vasectomy technique into its service delivery system, and will review the clinical and programmatic experience, and the impact of no-scalpel vasectomy on client and provider attitudes toward vasectomy.
