title: [Reproductive health in a global perspective].
abstract: Reproductive health is a wide concept, covering sexuality, pregnancy, birth and the puerperium, and infant health. Its four cornerstones are family planning, maternal health care, new-born and infant care, and control of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. In view of the population explosion and the dire figures of maternal and infant mortality in third world countries, reproductive health is one of the most urgent fields for collaborative efforts. Norway contributes more of its gross national product to development assistance than any other nation. A substantial amount of this aid goes to reproductive health projects. We should also strengthen our manpower input proportionally.
