A Study on the Status Quo of Reproductive Health Programs in Relation to Persons with Disabilities

View knowledge product

This study aims to identify the current (in 2016/17) situation of reproductive health services provided for persons with disabilities in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and analyse the gaps between the needs of persons with disabilities (or their caregivers) and the services being offered by health centres with regard to the availability and suitability of these services. The results of the study were intended to guide the Higher Council for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in developing policies and programs that aim to improve and develop the reproductive health services offered for persons with disabilities and ensure their full access to these services according to the rights granted to them, as well as increasing awareness within persons with disabilities and their families about their reproductive health, especially that reproductive health services in Jordan do not focus on PWDs needs.
