Reproductive Health >>Back to Basic Concepts of JOICFP Activities

"Reproductive Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes." (WHO)

Reproductive Health includes the following:

People are able to have a safe and satisfactory sex life
People have the capability to reproduce, and
People have the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so.

It further implies that:

Men and women have the right to be informed and have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choices.

All women have the right to enjoy to appropriate health care services that would enable them to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth.
