Reliable access to contraceptives and other commodities is a fundamental requirement for reproductive health, yet millions of women in developing countries go without these essentials, leaving them vulnerable to unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections and the risks of childbirth without basic equipment or medical supplies. This publication reviews the demand versus the supply issues and touches on the harsh human reality of the commodity shortage. In addition, this publication introduces a new global strategy for reproductive health commodity security, (RHCS) and provides a framework for such a system.
