title: Reproductive health for all: a commitment towards the new millennium.
abstract: The world government community made a commitment in 1994 to make reproductive health care universally available no later than the year 2015. The commitment has been confirmed by a special session of the United Nations General Assembly in July 1999. The commitment has to be backed up by resources, and the health profession has to provide the know-how. Social action will also be needed. Progress has been made, but challenges remain.
