TANZANIAN WOMEN ON BIRHT CONTROL PILLS.

Tanzania's President John Magufuli has urged women to stop taking birth control pills, saying the country needs more people. Mr Magufulu said "Women can now give up contraceptive methods" . Opposition MP Cecil Mwambe has criticised the comments, saying they contradicted the country's health policy. Tanzania has a population of around 53 million people, with 49% of them living on less than $2 (£1.50) a day. On average, a woman in Tanzania has more than five children, among the highest rates in the world. Ends/BBC/MM.
