The International Centre for Reproductive Health was established in 1994 within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the Ghent University. The key philosophy of ICRH is the recognition of reproductive health as a basic human right. As a university group, ICRH focuses on research, training and interventions within the broad area of reproductive health.
Besides research and training activities, ICRH also implements several development-related projects in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. CRH provides technical assistance to national and international administrations of health and development in the fields of HIV/AIDS, STIs/STDs, family planning, mother-child health, harmful traditional practices, sexual and gender-based violence, focused interventions towards adolescents, migrants, refugees and sex workers.
The ICRH website links to the organisations publications, documents, and projects, and provides names and contact details for staff.
