title = {Disparities in women’s access to reproductive healthcare},
year = {2023},
note = {The health system characteristics sometimes can respond the needs of
some population groups more widely than others. Women are more
disadvantaged than men in some points of access to healthcare.
Reproductive healthcare, as an important aspect of every woman’s
life is sometimes more difficult to access due to geographical,
financial, cultural and social barriers, moral stigmas and prejudices.
The chapter provides an insight into diversities, benefits, good
practice and successful program implementations related to access to
reproductive healthcare in four-member states of European Union:
Croatia, Germany, Poland and Slovenia. Different solutions are offered
according to the scope and severity of the problem in each country.
Countries are trying to overcome existing obstacles at the state,
local and institutional levels by drafting instructions and guidelines
in comparison to current regulations. The desire to progress and
overcome disparities in women’s access to reproductive healthcare
was recognized in all observed countries while the development of
telemedicine was most prominent in the COVID-19 pandemic.},
