Sectoral Perspectives on Gender and Social Inclusion: Health

This publication assesses the current situation of gender equality and social inclusion in Nepal’s health sector. It identifies the barriers faced by women, the poor and the excluded in accessing health services; considers the policy, legislative, and social barriers constraining these groups’ access; and analyzes how the various policies, processes and programs have worked to address them.

It also provides practical guidance on how to improve existing responses and take further action to ensure more equitable access to health services and benefits for women, the poor, and the excluded.
