“…Particularly in developing countries, the consequence of this paradigm shift has changed the focus of these policies and programs from population control to reproductive health emphasizing a holistic approach to women's health and well-being (Lane, 1994). The ICPD advocated population programs aimed to facilitate couples to have children as they desire in timing and number and also to assist mothers through pregnancy and childbirth safely so that the outcome of pregnancy is successful in terms of maternal and infant survival and well-being.…”

Current studies on the utilization of maternal care services in India focus on individual factors. In the present study, we use the theoretical model developed by Andersen and Newman (1973) to understand the utilization of maternal care services in rural areas of India. This theoretical model accommodates individual, and program (or system factors) to study health care utilization. Data collected through the National Family Health Survey-2 are used in the present study. The study results suggest that in addition to individual characteristics, program and system factors influence the utilization of maternal care in rural areas. Program factors, particularly educational activities promoting the benefits of maternal care services carried out through Mahila Mandal and Anganwadi Centers, are important in increasing the use of maternal care services in rural areas. Additionally, the results indicate that the mere presence of a private health care facility need not necessarily improve utilization. Increase in utilization is observed among households if the health worker visited these households during pregnancy. More statespecific studies incorporating both program and individual characteristics are recommended to further strengthen our understanding of the utilization of health care services in general and maternal care services specifically.

Women are Silver, Women are Diamonds: Conflicting Images of Women in the Cambodian Print Media

This paper examines 116 articles related to sexual and reproductive health translated into English from the Khmer press from April 1997 to February 2004. These excerpts were found in The Mirror, a publication of the non-governmental organisation Open Forum of Cambodia, which collates and reviews all issues of the Khmer press on a weekly basis. Five major themes were identified: the politics of women's health, government regulation and control, the sex industry in Cambodia, rape, and the HIV epidemic. Discourse analysis of these articles in the context of other sources and experience allows a gendered exploration of the reporting of sexual and reproductive health and rights issues in Cambodia by the Khmer print media. The reports explore the contested political empowerment of women in this strongly hierarchical society, and the mechanisms used to regulate and control sexual activity. The expanding sex industry and associated sexual trafficking are reported, together with the corruption of legal structures designed to regulate health systems and protect women and children from sexual exploitation and rape. The growing problem of AIDS and successes in reducing HIV transmission through the collaboration of sex workers in the 100% condom use policy is documented, and the tensions implicit in a cultural representation of women that both protects and constrains women are explored.

“…[13] Both debates echo the ideological struggle between comprehensive and selective primary health care (PHC), with proponents of selective PHC arguing for cost-efficient disease interventions that are able to significantly reduce the burden of disease in the short term [14], while those advocating comprehensive PHC point out that sustainable health outcomes depend on a complex of social, economic and environmental changes, only achieved through community participation in multi-sectoral strategies [15,16].…”
