Towards Better Reproductive Health in Eastern Europe
Concern, Commitment, and Change
Edited by WHO Scientific Working Group
on
Reproductive Health Research
Documenting the latest statistical data on current problems
related to reproductive health issues in Central and Eastern
Europe, this book explores the reasons for these problems
and recommends action based on the scientific evidence for
improving reproductive health.
The main issues covered in the book are: declining standards
of reproductive health care; rising trends in the incidence
of sexually transmitted diseases; low rates of use of modern
contraceptives; high rates of induced abortion; high prevalence
of infertility; and the needs of adolescents with regard to
reproductive health.
