The Contents
The two volumes of this book present a critical review of the research and service delivery done on various aspects of sexual and reproductive health throughout the world. Issues addressed in these volumes relate to fertility regulation, unwanted pregnancies and abortion, safe motherhood, reproductive health care, reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections, menopause and hormone replacement therapy, infertility, the socio-cultural context of reproductive health and country-specific experiences in implementing the ICPD Programme of Action. The papers on these topics highlight the breadth and content of all the research conducted and programmes implemented; in addition, the papers also highlight the existing gaps in knowledge.
