| description |
In this context, the overall purpose of
this review is to bring attention to the opportunities that
five countries in the region - Bangladesh, India, Nepal,
Pakistan and Sri Lanka - have to strengthen and expand
interventions to improve the reproductive health of poor
women. The specific objectives are: i) to provide an
accurate picture of the current status of women's
reproductive health, describe the use of reproductive health
services and barriers to use, and identify the improvements
required to increase their effectiveness and improve health
outcomes; ii) to elucidate individual and household
characteristics that affect reproductive health status and
use of services so that the most important of these can be
used to identify women and households with the greatest need
for care to achieve better health; iii) to describe a simple
and effective approach - decentralized action planning -
that can be used widely in all five countries to improve
reproductive health service delivery and outcomes, and point
to a body of best practices in reproductive health that
provides models and lessons for improvements in South Asia;
and iv) to strengthen the case for investing in poor
women's reproductive health by demonstrating the links
between poverty, inequality, reproductive health care and expenditure. |
