Yes Reproductive health is important in our environment, more so it will be in places where access to health systems is not widespread, in these cases training and prevention have a special relevance. Many diseases and deaths occur every year in the world due to poor reproductive health.
Maternal deaths, mostly in poor countries, could have been avoided if women had had access to maternity services and basic health care.
Thus Reproductive health care is essential, which includes a wide range of services. These services, which we list below, were defined by the World Health Organization according to the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, Egypt, in September 1994.
- Guidance on family planning, information, education, communication and services.
- Education and services for prenatal care, safe delivery and postpartum care, and health care for babies and women.
- Prevention and appropriate treatment of infertility.
- Prevention of abortion and management of the consequences of abortion.
- Treatment of reproductive tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV / AIDS.
- Prevention, early detection and treatment of breast cancer and cancers of the reproductive system, in addition to other diseases and disorders of reproductive health.
- Campaigns to actively combat harmful traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation.
In view of all these factors it follows that the provision of comprehensive reproductive health services requires an integrated multisectoral approach. Both protection and health, nutrition, education and community service have a role to play when planning and providing reproductive health services.
Recall that one of the Millennium Goals, to be met by 2015, is "Reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, maternal mortality." Some indicators to achieve this objective are the increase in the proportion of deliveries with the assistance of specialized health personnel, universal access to reproductive health or prenatal care coverage.
Hopefully it will be achieved, step by step, this improvement in reproductive health in the world which will undoubtedly affect better data on maternal and perinatal mortality, unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases.
