Reproductive health is defined by the World Health Organization as a state of physical, mental, and
social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system at all
stages of life. Reproductive health implies that people are able to have a
satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability to reproduce
and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Implicit in
this are the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to
safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable methods of family planning of
their choice, and the right to appropriate health-care services that enable
women to safely go through pregnancy and childbirth.
