Universal health coverage for sexual and reproductive health in Malaysia: evidence brief

Overview

There are several studies pertaining to various aspects of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) in Malaysia, and universal health coverage (UHC) independently. There is, however, little research on integration of SRH in UHC-related policies and programmes. This brief highlights evidence from a case study of Malaysia that critically examines the national measures that have been taken to progress towards universal access to selected SRH services. The case study focused on three tracer interventions: pregnancy and safe delivery, services for the prevention and treatment of GBV, and safe abortion (and post-abortion care).
