Roundtable | |||
| |||
| This roundtable covers a range of critical issues related to reproductive health (RH). Three main themes include RH of midlife women, incorporating a gender perspective into RH programs, and fertility issues among Muslims in Asia and North Africa. The presentations on issues for midlife women include five on cervical cancer in different countries and one on infertility and sub-fecundity. All have relevance for programs serving younger women as well. Needs of midlife women are often neglected by RH programs that typically focus on high-fertility younger clients. Nevertheless, older women continue to have needs that evolve over the course of their lives, some of which have potentially serious consequences. Cervical cancer, one of the principal causes of preventable deaths among women in many countries, is one example. Participants at these roundtables can learn about epidemiological issues related to cervical cancer, different prevention approaches, challenges, successes, and consequences for RH programming. Two other tables will cover cutting edge issues of costs and results of implementing a gender perspective into RH programs. Providing services through a gender-sensitive approach has been shown to improve service quality and acceptability, but costs need to be considered as well. Finally, two tables will discuss fertility issues among Muslims 1) in south Asia, and 2) in Libya. These presentations will be relevant as the first deals with fertility in the context of a unique sociopolitical environment, and the second in a country (Libya) and context (Arab oil-exporting country) that have not received much attention to date. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of each roundtable session, participants will: 1) gain an overview of the main issues surrounding the topics discussed (e.g., cervical cancer among midlife women, fertility/infertility in Muslim countries, cost of incorporating gender into RH programs, etc.) 2. have the opportunity to ask in-depth questions of presenters to gain a greater technical understanding of the issues involved. | |||
