To familiarize everyone with key socioeconomic terms and concepts, we have this new social media series.
For this week, our buzzword is "reproductive health".
It refers to the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system.
It includes the ability to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to have children when desired, and access to reproductive healthcare services, education, and information.

A PIDS study assessed the national-level implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health (RPRH) Law in the Philippines. It found that the government's planning, monitoring, and evaluation framework lacks a clear impact strategy and multiagency plan to outline progress and accomplishments in implementing the RPRH Law.
Know more about the RPRH Law implementation by reading “An Assessment of National-Level Governance of the Philippines’ Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law: Trends and Ways Forward” available at https://www.pids.gov.ph/publication/discussion-papers/an-assessment-of-national-level-governance-of-the-philippines-responsible-parenthood-and-reproductive-health-law-trends-and-ways-forward.
