WHO Reproductive Health Strategy
A new publication from WHO’s Department of Reproductive Health and Research: The Reproductive Health Strategy: to accelerate progress towards the attainment of international development goals and targets is now available in print and can be downloaded from the web link listed below.
This is the World Health Organization’s first global strategy on reproductive health. It was adopted by the 57th World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2004. The strategy was developed as a result of extensive consultations in all regions with representatives from ministries of health, professional associations, non-governmental organizations, United Nations partners and other key stakeholders. It lays out actions needed for accelerating progress towards the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other international goals and targets relating to reproductive health, especially those from the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994, and its five-year follow-up (ICPD+5).
