“…Our findings strongly support the argument made by many others (e.g. Pinotti et al 39 ) about the need to develop comprehensive services to address women's health, especially given the multiple morbidities that women experience, rather than the fragmented approaches that currently dominate. Fieldwork for this study was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) support for the Global Poverty…”

Research on the consequences of reproductive morbidity for women's lives and their economic and social roles is relatively under-developed. There is also a lack of consensus on appropriate conceptual frameworks to understand the social determinants of reproductive morbidity as well as their social and economic implications. We report here on an exploratory study in Yemen using quantitative (n=72 women) and qualitative methods (n=35 women), in 2005 and 2007 respectively, with women suffering from uterine prolapse, infertility or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It explored women's views on how reproductive morbidity affected their lives, marital security and their households, and the burden of paying for treatment. We also interviewed six health professionals about women's health care-seeking for these conditions. Sixty per cent of women reported that treatment was not affordable, and 43% had to sell assets or take out a loan to pay for care. Prolapse and PID interfered particularly in subsistence and household activities while infertility created social pressure. Reproductive morbidity is not a priority in Yemen, given its multiple public health needs and low resources, but by failing to provide comprehensive and affordable services for women, the country incurs developmental losses.

“…Counseling younger women on nutrition, exercise and smoking, family planning, and safe sex can help them enter menopause with lower risks of chronic disease (International Medical Advisory Panel, 1997). Older women can benefit from expanded services at family planning and reproductive health centers, including counseling and treatment for menopausal symptoms, screening for reproductive cancers and osteoporosis, and advice on nutrition and exercise (Pinotti, 2001). Community and home-based systems are needed to support older women caregivers and provide care when older people can no longer care for themselves.…”
