Abstract

This resource briefing offers an overview of the existing evidence base relating to gender and health sector reform. It begins by examining the different components of these reform processes and why they might have different implications for women and for men. This will reflect both the different biological needs of the two sexes and also the influence of social or gender differences between women and men on health-care needs and on access to services and their quality. While available evidence on different aspects of health care will be mentioned, the review will pay particular attention to sexual and reproductive health services.
