The question of how to improve the reproductive health of women in developing countries has, at last, begun to move beyond narrow programatic concerns stressing maternal and child health and the achievement o f population policy goals. International agencies, public health and population experts have begun to realise the need to take a broader, more holistic approach to reproductive health - an approach which recognises the varied needs o f women in different stages o f their lives. The improvements in health care that may be created through the integration o f services and the synergy so created is attractive not only in terms o f better serving the client's needs and in achieving health and population policy goals but in terms o f increased efficiency, effectiveness and reduced costs.
This study has focused on how individual women react to disease, how services are provided and used and how they might be adapted to respond to the needs of women for services to prevent, diagnose and cure RTIs. These are vitally important
13 These include a reduction in foetal and child morbidity and death associated with the mother's infection with an RTI and a reduction in the transmission of STDs to male partners. An example of the wider public health benefits is those gained from syphilis screening. This is a useful surveillance method to assess the magnitude of STD morbidity in the general population and to evaluate the effectiveness of AIDS and STD prevention and control programs.
issues. However, central to achieving improved reproductive health for women is the involvement o f women themselves. Rather than being passive recipients o f health care initiatives they should be given the opportunity to act as active agents whose needs are voiced and recognised. Women's associations and organisations have been identified as focal points for social and economic transformation in Nigeria. Their role should be equally recognised in obtaining community involvement in and support for appropriate health policy. This approach would create a foundation for success through community- based health education for men and women, old and young.
Reproductive tract infections impact negatively on the lives o f women around the world. However, it is in developing countries, where many women suffer physically, socially and emotionally from these infections, that they take the heaviest toll. Currently these infections are not addressed by the most widely used reproductive health programs - family planning, maternal and child health and safe motherhood. However, slowly the significance o f these infections is being recognised and responded to. In the meantime, women in Ado-Ekiti and other communities around the world wait for the day when the promise o f accessible, effective and culturally appropriate health services to resolve these infections becomes a reality.
