INTRODUCTION

Reproductive Health status in a way, Population and Reproductive Health

problems are conceptualized. There has been a clearer articulation and definition of

Reproductive Health as a concept as well as the thinking on ways in which

reproductive health problems should be addressed.

Reproductive Health (RH) refers to mortality, morbidity, and quality of life

attributable to the reproductive system, process, and events experienced by men and

women of all ages. Conceptually, the term should include reproduction-related

mortality, morbidity, and quality of life issues for both men and women. But

discussion about women’s health problems usually gets larger attention in the

context of pregnancy and childbirth-related morbidity and mortality.
