Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in India: Self-care for Universal Health Coverage

0 Ungluers have Faved this Work

This book is a very important addition to the extensive range of research and writing that Dr. Saroj Pachauri has contributed to the knowledge and intervention strategies concerning health issues in India and Asia. The book focuses on developing greater depths of scientific data and new programmatic strategies for sexual and reproductive health in especially marginalized, vulnerable sub-groups—female sex workers, men who have sex with men (MSM), transgender people, and long distance truck drivers. As evident in the title of the book, the primary theme is the up-scaling of self-care practices, particularly among the most vulnerable sub-populations in India. Dr. Pachauri states: “The COVID-19 pandemic currently raging through India and other countries vividly underscores the importance of self-care interventions. All the methods to prevent this infection such as hand washing, social/physical distancing, and wearing masks are self-care interventions. Without a vaccine to prevent this infection, individuals and communities are reliant solely on self-care practices.” These most vulnerable sub-groups are especially at risk because of their exposure to a variety of different, unpredictable sexual encounters, and also their relatively weak and unstable economic and social resources. In addition, these sub-groups generally have low levels of knowledge concerning the pathways and risks of sexually transmitted infections and related health problems, along with (frequently) a serious lack of connections to reliable, effective health providers.
