Universal access to reproductive health has become prominent in international development through its inclusion in the Millennium Development Goals. Although that specific goal focusing on maternal health might not be achieved by 2015, it is expected that the implementation of ongoing strategies and previous commitments for resource mobilization will lead to sustained efforts. More emphasis should be placed on addressing disparities and adopting a life-cycle approach to sexual and reproductive health.
