Millennium Development Goal 5
Target 5.B: achieve, by 2015, universal access to reproductive health
Definition of universal access to reproductive health
Reproductive health is a broad and comprehensive concept, which is defined by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and its functions and processes. ICPD places a strong emphasis on the needs and rights of individuals and disadvantaged populations, and upon the influence of the wider context on the achievement of sexual and reproductive health. The concept of “universal access” should reflect equity (equal access for equal need) and is dependent on the varying levels of need among individuals and during different times for each individual.
