Abstract

Why, despite the progress South Africa has made in the area of sexual and reproductive health rights are there still unacceptable rates of maternal mortality? Why have increases in contraceptive usage, a decline in teenage fertility, and improved access to skilled caregivers not translated into improvements in many women's SRH? Tracy Morison reviews the approach to SRH thus far.
