    Defining Health and Reproductive Health

    • The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
    • The term 'sexual and reproductive health' encompasses both physical and emotional aspects of human sexuality, including the ability to have a safe and satisfying sexual life, the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so.
    • 'Sexual wellbeing' denotes the ability to have a positive and respectful approach to sexuality, as well as the ability to have pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free from coercion, discrimination, and violence.

    Factors Influencing Reproductive Health

    • Preconception care, which includes screening and management of medical conditions, optimization of nutrition, and reduction of harmful habits, provides couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant.
    • Inequalities in reproductive health services can be based on factors such as geographic location, socioeconomic status, education, and ethnicity, leading to disparities in access to healthcare and health outcomes.
