1. Educate individuals about their sex life, for example education on condom use to avoid unwanted pregnancies that can lead to abortions.
2. Educate at the women about of the pregnancy process, cares and important indication for this period. And educate at the pregnant women about possible complications of pregnancy.
3. Advice couples during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. Indicate the importance of assistance of man at the controls.
4. Educate the community about sexual and reproductive health and educate the community you want to have children on how to prepare for paternity and childcare.
