A new training curriculum "Transforming Health Systems: Gender and Rights in Reproductive Health" is now available from the World Health Organisation. "Transforming Health Systems" is the product of a five-year collaborative process between WHO, the South African Women's Health Project and the Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health.
It is a training resource for health trainers to use with health managers, planners, policy-makers and others with responsibilities in reproductive health. This unique training curriculum is designed to equip participants with the analytical tools and skills to integrate the promotion of gender equity and reproductive rights into their reproductive health policies, planning and programmes.
The curriculum, designed to be run as a stand-alone, two- or three-week course, contains six teaching modules: three foundation modules on gender, the social determinants of health and rights, and three application modules on available evidence, on policy and on the health systems. Case studies and practical material deal with reproductive health issues, covering a broad spectrum from sexual debut and maternal mortality to HIV/AIDS and sexual violence.
The 492-page training curriculum is also available in a CD-ROM version. Mandarin and Spanish versions are in preparation.
