  • Requires the adoption of measures to improve child and maternal health, sexual and reproductive health services (including access to family planning), pre- and post-natal care, and emergency obstetric services, and;
  • Recommends that States integrate a gender perspective in their health-related policies, planning, programs, and research in order to promote better health for both women and men.
