Government's must take responsibility for women's health, develop more gender sensitive policies and increase health budgets for women's sexual and reproductive health. These are three demands contained in a brief produced by the Women's Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) entitled 'Health sector reforms: hazardous to women's health'. The brief outlines the main issues related to health-related reforms and suggests what individuals can do to effect change. Topics covered include budget cuts, structural adjustment programs (SAPs), Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), privatisation of health services, the unregulated health market, user fees, and the limits of health insurance.
