Sexual and Reproductive Health in Epidemics: What can we do to protect women's and girls' health services in times of crisis?
Please note that this session has now been postponed. A new date will be announced in due course. During public health crises, such as the West African Ebola outbreak of 2014 - 2016, essential women’s reproductive health services can be deprioritised, while the health service focuses on halting transmission of the infectious disease. This can result in entirely preventable morbidity and mortality, and can traumatise families and health workers.
