Overview

Women's health services are the range of clinical, preventive, and educational care directed at the distinct health needs of women across the life course, with particular emphasis on reproductive health. They typically encompass contraception and family planning, fertility care, antenatal and delivery services, postpartum support, screening and management of gynecological conditions, sexual and reproductive healthcare, and care surrounding menopause. Such services matter because they enable women to make informed decisions about their bodies and to access timely, appropriate care, and because gaps in availability or equity can have substantial consequences for maternal and population health. Research published in Women's Reproductive Health and related OpenAccessPub titles has explored several dimensions of these services, including the utilization of antenatal care and the factors that shape it, knowledge and practice of preconception care, barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare for marginalized groups, access to comprehensive care for survivors of sexual violence, and inequities in the uptake of hospital delivery linked to social determinants. Studies have also examined teenage pregnancy, induced abortion in low-resource settings, and the evaluation of evidence-based health information. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the organization, delivery, accessibility, and equity of women's health services worldwide.
