Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of Women in Nepal (SRHR)WOREC Nepal
The purpose of this brief is to highlight the status of sexual and reproductive health rights of women in Nepal, discuss the gaps and challenges in the policies to address the ground realities of women with sexual and reproductive needs and to ensure their rights. As the brief includes the ‘voices’ of grassroot women and stakeholders, it is expected to demand accountability and changes in direction where it is urgently needed and suggest changes or strengthening as necessary at different levels, including the upcoming International Conference on Population and Development.

The maternal mortality rate is the number of maternal deaths in a population divided by the number of women of reproductive age. It captures the likelihood of both becoming pregnant and dying during pregnancy (including deaths up to six weeks after delivery).
Reproductive Health Lecture Note !
The Nairobi Summit on ICPD25 provides an opportunity to complete the unfinished business
of the ICPD programme of action and also a chance to commit to a forward-looking sexual
and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) agenda to meet the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) and its targets. It is an opportunity for the global community to build on the
ICPD framework and fully commit to realizing a visionary agenda for SRHR and to reaching
those who have been left behind. This agenda must pay attention to population dynamics and
migration patterns, recognize the diverse challenges faced by different countries at various
stages of development, and ground policies and programmes in respect for, and fulfilment of,
human rights and the dignity of the individual (United Nations Population Fund, 2019).
Since 1994, the world has developed through responding to the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs), which focused on the achievement of a few, specific health targets, to commit
to the comprehensive 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The aspirational targets
of the health SDG (SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being) are not merely ambitious in
themselves, but cover nearly every important aspect of human well-being, both physical and
relational. Unlike the MDGs, the SDGs explicitly recognize sexual and reproductive health as
essential to health, development and women’s empowerment. Sexual and reproductive health
is referenced under both SDG 3, including met family planning needs, maternal health-care
access and fertility rates in adolescence, and SDG 5 (gender equality), which additionally refers
to sexual health and reproductive rights.
With the SDGs, the world has also committed to achieving UHC, including financial risk
protection, access to high-quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective,
high-quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. In connection with the
74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (2019), world leaders made a political
declaration1
recommitting to achieving UHC by 2030. The declaration further re-emphasizes
the right to health for all and a commitment to achieving universal access to sexual and
reproductive health services and reproductive rights as stated in the SDGs. As such, UHC
and SRHR are intimately linked. Without taking into account a population’s SRHR needs,
UHC is impossible to achieve, as many of the basic health needs are linked to people’s sexual
and reproductive health. Similarly, universal access to SRHR cannot be achieved without
countries defining a pathway towards UHC, which includes prioritizing resources according to health needs.
The purpose of this paper is to define and describe the key components of a comprehensive,
life course approach to SRHR. Furthermore, the ambition is to describe how countries can move towards universal access to SRHR as an essential part of UHC.

Family-Planning-lecture that will help you ace your examJudahPauloEspero
There are many different types of contraception, but not all types are appropriate for all situations. The most appropriate method of birth control depends on an individual’s overall health, age, frequency of sexual activity, number of sexual partners, desire to have children in the future, and family history of certain diseases. Ensuring access for all people to their preferred contraceptive methods advances several human rights including the right to life and liberty, freedom of opinion, expression and choice and the right to work and education, as well as bringing significant health and other benefits.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

1. Unit 3: REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH (RH)
Reproductive health is the crucial part of the
overall health and is central to human
development.
It is important component of general health
and is prerequisite for social, economic and
human development.
4/6/2021 1
2. Reproductive health and development
• UNFPA works to ensure sexual and
reproductive health and rights remain at the
very centre of development.
• The International Conference on Population
and Development draws a clear connection
between reproductive health, human rights
and sustainable development.
4/6/2021 2
3. • When sexual and reproductive health needs
are not met, individuals are deprived of the
right to make crucial choices about their
own bodies and futures, with a cascading
impact on their families’ welfare and future
generations.
4/6/2021 3
4. And because women bear children, and also
often bear the responsibility for nurturing
them, sexual and reproductive health and
rights issues cannot be separated from gender
equality. Cumulatively, the denial of
these rights exacerbates poverty and gender
inequality.

Editor's Notes
Against this background , the following strategies have been adopted for the effective and efficient provision of quality Reproductive Health Services in Nepal;
सहभागीहरूलार्इ प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य भनेको के हो भनि प्रस्न गर्नुहोस ...... प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य भन्नाले शारिरिक, मानसिक र सामाजिक रूपमा स्वस्थ रहन को साथै प्रजनन् आवश्यकता, छनोट, निर्णय र व्यवहारिक प्रयोग गर्न सक्षम हुनु हो । वच्चा पाउनु वा नपाउनु, वच्चा पाउँदा स्याहार गर्नु मात्र नभै प्रजनन् स्वाथ्यका विभिन्न ९ वटा क्षेत्रहरू रहेका छन् । प्रजनन् उमेरका व्यक्ति वा महिला मात्र नभै गर्भास्था, शिशू अवस्था देखि जेष्ठ नागरिक सम्म सवैलार्इ प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्यको आवश्यकता रहन्छ । । प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य रणनिती १९९८ ले प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य अन्तरगत ९ वटा रूको पहिचान गरेको छ । माथि उल्लेख गरिएका सुरक्षित मातृत्व, परिवार नियोजन,नवजात शिशू, किशोर किशोरी स्वास्थ्य, एच.आर्इ.भी. एड्स र योनरोग र व्यवस्थापन, निशन्तान दम्पतिलार्इ सेवा, सुरक्षित गर्भपतन सेवा, उमेर ढल्केका महिलाहरूको प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य र लैंगिक हिंसा प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्यका तत्वहरू हुन् ।
वच्चा जन्मने वित्तिकै अत्यावशेव नवजात शिशू स्याहर दिने, वालवालिकाको स्वास्थ्य सुधार का लागि कृयाकलपाहरू, किशोर कशोरीका लागि योन तथा प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य सेवा, विहावित दम्पतिका लागि प.नि. सम्वन्धि सेवा, परामर्श, गर्भवती स्याहार, सुत्केरी स्याहार, उमेर ठल्केका महिलाहरूमा देखिने स्वास्थ्य समस्याको उपचार र व्यवस्थापन आदि सेवाहरू प्रजनन् स्वास्थ्य सेवामा हुनु जरूरी छ ।
The Nepal Reproductive Health strategy lists the following Reproductive Health issues as priorities in its Integrated Reproductive Health Package:
Reproductive health is a lifetime concern for both women and men, from infancy to old age. Evidence shows that reproductive health in any of these life stages has a profound effect on one's health later in life. UNFPA supports programmes tailored to the different challenges people face at different times in their lives, including comprehensive sexuality education, family planning, antenatal and safe delivery care, post-natal care, services to prevent sexually transmitted infections (including HIV), and services facilitating early diagnosis and treatment of reproductive health illnesses (including breast and cervical cancer).
To support reproductive health throughout the life cycle, services across a variety of sectors must be strengthened, from health and education systems to even transport systems – which are required to ensure health care is accessible. And all efforts to support sexual and reproductive health rely on the availability of essential health supplies, such as contraceptives, life-saving medicines and basic medical equipment.
