The quality of family planning health services can be improved only if these are meas ured and monitored. The recent strategy of abolition of targets for family planning was based on the expectation that it would help health workers to improve the quality of services. A study in two districts of Karnataka before and after the abolition of targets showed some positive signs as regards the quality of health in family planning services, including improvement in peoples' attitudes toward primary health centres.
