ABSTRACT
It is opportune for the Journal to contribute to Self-Care Month and Self-Care Day, as proclaimed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its efforts to promote self-care which is increasingly prominent in discourses in resource-limited settings for attaining universal health coverage. With sexual and reproductive health and rights facing hindrances, such as cultural barriers, self-care should facilitate access to services whilst maintaining privacy. Largely limited to pregnancy beforehand, self-care can now be promoted for the self-management of medical abortion, self-administration of injectable contraceptives and gender-affirming hormones besides self-collection of samples for infection testing.
Il est opportun pour le Journal de contribuer au Mois et à la Journée des soins personnels, comme l'a proclamé l'Organisation mondiale de la santé dans ses efforts visant à promouvoir les soins personnels, qui occupent une place de plus en plus importante dans les discours dans les contextes à ressources limitées pour atteindre la couverture sanitaire universelle. . La santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs étant confrontés à des obstacles, tels que des barrières culturelles, les soins personnels devraient faciliter l'accès aux services tout en préservant la vie privée. Largement limités à la grossesse préalable, les soins personnels peuvent désormais être encouragés pour l'autogestion de l'avortement médicamenteux, l'auto-administration de contraceptifs injectables et d'hormones d'affirmation de genre, en plus de l'auto-collecte d'échantillons pour les tests d'infection.
