Reproductive Health

Etc.

Within the framework of <a href="http://www.who.int/en/">WHO</a>'s definition of [Pagelink infos="Category:Health|health"] as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, reproductive health addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system at all stages of life. Reproductive health, therefore, implies that people are able to have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so.Weiss, C. (1998). Evaluation: Methods for Studying Programs and Policies, 2nd Ed. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.

Implicit in this are the right of men and women to be informed of and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choice, and the right of access to appropriate health care services that will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.
