Accelerating Universal Access to Reproductive Health
|
To achieve its long-term goal of reducing fertility and under-5 mortality, Nepal specifies family planning as a priority element of an Essential Health Care Service in its Health Sector Strategy (2004), Nepal Health Sector Programme–Implementation Plan (2004–2009), and in the Second Long-term Health Plan (2007–2011).
Key policy advances include:
1. National Reproductive Health Strategy that includes an integrated package of health
the services, including family planning, safe motherhood, and prevention and management of abortion complications;
2. National Reproductive Health Commodity Security Strategy (2007–2011) that includes the contraceptives on the essential drug list (the public sector is the largest supplier of contraceptives);
3. Nepal Family Health Program (NFHP) which supports implementation of the activities to realize these goals and provides technical support to the National Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV) programme in Nepal. FCHVs play a key role in disseminating information and providing non-clinical contraceptives.
