reproductive health care access

Reproductive health care access refers to the ability of individuals to obtain essential services related to reproductive and sexual health. This includes family planning, contraception, pregnancy care, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, and screening for reproductive cancers. Ensuring access means removing barriers such as cost, transportation, policy restrictions, or lack of providers, so people can make informed decisions about their reproductive health options. Equitable access promotes overall health, supports personal autonomy, and reduces disparities across different populations.
