Chinese officials recently made a commitment to place greater emphasis on women’s health issues, and improve women’s reproductive health at a launch ceremony for a program titled “Improving Chinese Women’s Reproductive Health,”Chinanews reported.

The program was jointly initiated by the China Women's Development Foundation (CWDF), the National Research Institute for Family Planning and the Family Planning Association under the Chinese Medical Association.

Zhen Yan, vice president of the CWDF, pointed out at the launch ceremony that the program aims to provide convenient and authoritative suggestions and information on contraception, as well as better family planning services for women of childbearing age.

The Program for the Development of Chinese Women (2011-2020) has the stated objective of ensuring women's rights in order to let them make informed decisions about contraception and birth control, and reduce unwanted pregnancies and induced abortions.

Deputy Director of the National Research Institute for Family Planning, Yu Hua, stressed that contraception service providers from medical, or non-medical institutions must enhance their service capabilities.

“The widespread use of new media also means women have more access to information about reproductive health,” added Yu.

中国官员呼吁社会各界关注中国女性生殖健康

近日，由中国妇女发展基金会、国家人口计生委科学技术研究、中华医学会计划生育学分会共同发起的“从心绽放·中国女性生殖健康促进项目”21日在北京启动。

据悉，中国妇女发展基金会副理事长甄砚在启动仪式上指出，希望通过今天的启动仪式，进一步激发社会各界对妇女健康的关注，促进中国女性生殖健康水平的提升。

《中国妇女发展纲要》提出应“保障妇女享有避孕节育知情选择权，减少非意愿妊娠，降低人工流产率”，“提高妇女生殖健康服务水平”。《国家十二五人口发展规划》亦在计生服务、计生宣传教育、职业化队伍建设等方面给予了明确的发展指导方针。

甄砚指出，“中国女性生殖健康促进项目”，将为广大育龄女性提供权威专业、方便、易获得的避孕知识和信息渠道，进一步促进女性的避孕知情选择权，提升了育龄女性计生服务接触点的专业化服务水平。

国家人口计生委科学技术研究所副所长俞华在会上强调，避孕服务的提供者，无论是来自医疗机构还是从业于非医疗机构，都需要不断提升其服务能力。“新媒体技术的应用普及，则给予我们更多与服务者和育龄女性沟通的便捷渠道。科学技术的发展，正是推动中国女性生殖健康促进的关键”。

“从心绽放”项目在中国以“世界避孕日”为核心官方宣教窗口，建设了权威、专业有公信力的新媒体宣教平台，并开发以“科学避孕指导工具包”为代表的一系列工具。
