This study has two main objectives: 1)
to analyze trends and differences in women's health,
examples of good practices in delivery and financing of
women's health programs; and the key dimensions of
women's health that are relevant for the health reforms
currently underway in Latin America; and 2) to provide
guidance for governments and program designers in addressing
the most pressing causes of women's ill health, within
the context of broader sectoral and national policies. The
report is divided into five sections. This overview
highlights the rationale for focusing on the topic of
women's health, along with a conceptual framework for
understanding the determinants of women's health and
the role of health policy. Chapter 1 describes major trends
and differentials in women's health in Latin America
and the Caribbean, grouping countries into four broad
categories according to trends in health, demographic, and
socioeconomic indicators. Chapter 2 turns to a discussion of
success, utilization, and spending on women's health,
providing the results of new analyses for seven countries.
Chapter 3 provides an overview of the links between
women's health and health reform. It emphasizes
potential synergies and opportunities to integrate
women's health concerns in broader reform initiatives
and points out risks to be avoided. The final chapter
presents concluding remarks and recommendations. |
