That there are a number of challenges to achieving the goals of reproductive health policies in Jordan, including limited integration between reproductive health programs and primary health care programs, weakness in reproductive health information systems, and insufficient services directed at reproductive health, sexually transmitted diseases and the health of adolescents and youth in health centers The lack of an integrated package of services related to reproductive health for young people and adolescents, the limited specialized courses in the field of adolescent health and reproductive health in medical and health colleges in universities, and the need to strengthen school curricula with educational programs that cover adolescent health and include reproductive culture with content commensurate with the prevailing social culture in society, and the absence of periodic sustainable media programs specialized in reproductive health.
It is worth noting that the youth group within the age group (18-24 years) represents one of the mainstays in any society, and in Jordan this group constitutes about 20% of the total population, as they lack reproductive health information and do not receive the necessary attention, and they are the most There is a need for health services that are often not met. Providing an integrated package of reproductive services to young people is necessary to help them make sound decisions regarding their reproductive health and enable them to implement these decisions.
