Study Notes
Reproductive Health
- Reproductive health is a comprehensive state of well-being in all aspects of reproduction, physical, emotional, behavioural and social.
Reproductive Health Problems and Strategies in India
- India was one of the first countries to implement national-level reproductive health plans starting in 1951.
- These programs, initially known as "family planning," have evolved into "Reproductive and Child Health Care (RCH) programs"
- Programs aim to educate citizens on various reproductive aspects, provide facilities, and support the creation of a reproductively healthy society.
- Methods to improve awareness include: audiovisual and print media, school sex education, and communication from parents, relatives, teachers, and friends.
- The focus of education is on topics like reproductive organs, adolescence, safe and hygienic sexual practices, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), HIV/AIDS, and birth control options. Other aspects include care for pregnant mothers, postnatal care, breastfeeding, and promoting equal opportunities for male and female children.
- Awareness campaigns address population growth concerns, social evils like sex abuse, and sex-related crimes.
- Implementing successful reproductive health plans requires strong infrastructure, professional expertise, and material support for medical assistance in areas like pregnancy, delivery, STDs, abortions, contraception, menstrual problems, and infertility.
- Continuous improvement is crucial with the use of new techniques and strategies for efficient care and assistance.
- Amniocentesis, a foetal sex determination test, is banned to legally address the growing issue of sex-selective abortions.
