The association was founded in 1936 as the Hong Kong Eugenics League. In 1950, it changed its name officially to the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong. It became one of the founding members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1952. At the beginning, FPAHK used individual contacts to do its task, spreading the Family Planning message. Subsequently, it started a clinic service. In 1956, it set up the first subfertility clinic. In 1955, the Hong Kong government began subsidising FPAHKs activities. From 1964 on, FPAHK received financial support by the InternationalPlanned Parenthood Federation. In 1967, FPAHK ran the first Hong Kong Family Planning Knowledge, Attitude & Practice Survey and started sex education. Soon after, the Hong Kong Department of Health started to take over the FPAHK sub-fertility clinics. At the same time, FPAHK started its "Two is enough" campaign. To further publicise its campaign, FPAHK made a poster of artist Petrina Fung playing with her kids, with the caption "No need for lots of babies, have two at most". In 1986, FPAHK began to diversify its services and research with the establishment of the first health centre for teenagers at Causeway Bay. In 1989, FPAHK's new headquarters at Wanchai Southorn Centre began operations. After that, FPAHK pushed through a new artificial insemination service, the family planning awareness initiative, a one-stop service for premarital couples, an obstetric examination service, the experimental hormone replacement therapy plan, and initiated the Hong Kong Women's Reproductive and Sexual Health Advocacy Group. The "Be a Mr. Able in Family Planning" campaign was launched to entice men to play an active role in birth control. In 1998, FPAHK began to provide a mobile clinic service. In 1999, the mobile library and menopause clinic service started. On 11 December 2006, the FPAHK's office at Tsuen Wan Centre began operation. In response to the changes of population trend and family value of Hong Kong society, the association suggested "Family Big or Small, Family Planning is Best for All" to raise public awareness on early family planning. New initiatives were made to meet evolving needs of holistic sexual and reproductive health care, including Well Men Clinic, Cervical Diseases Clinic, Osteoporosis Clinic, Breast Clinic and Sex Therapy. On advocating sexuality education, the association launched a 3-year "Youth Sexuality and Love Campaign" in 2008, and organized the "4th Asian Conference on Sexuality Education" in 2010, which was the first of its kind in Hong Kong. FPA Jockey Club Teen Bean Mobile Classroom was launched in 2011 to promote sexuality education at the community level. In 2012, the FPA Jockey Club Youth Zone was set up to provide youth friendly one-stop services. Hong Kong couples are more positive about childbearing but many have not attained their ideal parity goals, the association released a new API titled "How Many is Enough?" to remind couples to plan early in order to pursue their fertility aspirations
