MMS Studies

Working with our member organisations, MMS develops framework documents on international health cooperation practice to underpin joint learning and self-critical reflection. To improve the health situation around the world, we must expand our knowledge, develop new instruments and make optimal use of the data and experience collected in the field to generate the right conclusions for the further development of our work.

Panel on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)

Our thematic panel on sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) discusses and develops new approaches to support this key area of health in international cooperation. The panel focuses on improving access to sexual and reproductive health services, something which is still proving to be a challenge around the world, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Strengthening the rights of women and girls and promoting equality between men and women are further key focuses of this panel.
