For more than 16 years, the Population Council’s Robert H. Ebert Program
on Critical Issues in Reproductive Health pursued innovative
research strategies to address neglected or marginalized issues affecting
the reproductive health and rights of women and men, particularly in the
developing world. The program’s research contributed to major advances
in the understanding of reproductive and sexual health, resulting in
measurable improvements in health services around the world. Some of the
program’s greatest achievements were through the introduction of new
reproductive health technologies and interventions in resource-poor
communities.
Many Ebert publications/resources are available online (as PDFs or HTML).

Background |
|
As a Population Council trustee for 30 years and
dean of the Harvard University Medical School, the late Robert H.
Ebert was a stalwart proponent of women's health. He urged
policymakers, program planners, and practitioners to consider family
planning and reproductive health within the larger context of
women’s health. The Population Council's Robert H. Ebert Program on
Critical Issues in Reproductive Health was established in his honor
in 1988.
