Abstract
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Self-care interventions are among the most promising
and exciting new approaches to improve health and
well-being, placing people at the center of care and
allowing individuals to be agents of their own health
Self-care has the potential to reshape the way health
care is delivered, and the ways in which individuals
seek care Moreover, self-care holds the potential
to make healthcare more accessible, affordable,
convenient, and equitable This is especially important
for vulnerable populations who are often out of reach
of, or underserved by, conventional health services. This report aims to take stock of the sexual and
reproductive health (SRH) self-care field and document
its progress since the publication of the WHO Guideline.
