Internationale Volksgezondheid: definities uit college’s
Poverty: Poverty is deprivation in the most essential capabilities of life,
including leading a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable, having adequate
economic provisioning and participating fully in the life of the community'
(UNDP, 1997).
Poverty Line (World Bank): een persoon wordt als arm gezien als zijn of haar
inkomen of consumptie level onder een bepaald minimum niveau zakt die nodig
is om aan basisbehoeften te kunnen voldoen.
Reproductive health: ‘Within WHO's definition as a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,
reproductive health addresses the reproductive processes, functions and system
at all stages of life. Reproductive health, therefore, implies that people are able to
have a responsible, satisfying and safe sex life and that they have the capability
to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so’.
‘Implicit in this are the right of men and women to be informed of and to have
access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation
of their choice, and the right of access to appropriate health care services that
will enable women to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide
couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant’.
