Reproductive health at the turn of the millennium: a glance back


Akinyinka Omigbodun

Abstract

At the beginning of another millennium, it seems appropriate to take stock of the major developments that have taken place in reproductive health care, particularly in the last century. Although reproductive health has become a truly multidisciplinary enterprise, the co-ordination of reproductive health care services will continue to rest on the Obstetrician/Gynaecologist because pregnancy and childbirth are at the very core of the reproductive process. Specialists in the discipline therefore have a crucial role to play in training, advocacy, community education and mobilisation of resources to improve the standard of reproductive health in the society and provide wholesome reproductive health care services to their communities.
