The Health e-discussions are now closed, but the Draft Report of the Global Thematic Consultation on Health is open for comment until 19 February. There are many references to sexual and reproductive health and rights and it is important that comments are sent in in their support.
The High Level dialogue will be held in Gaborone, Botswana in 5-6 March. Participants will comprise 40-50 senior level from all sectors and the purpose of the meeting will be to make recommendations on health in the post-2015 agenda, based on inputs received from the consultation, including the revised Report.
A series of six Civil Society consultations are being, or have been, held. They include a day session on health in the post 2015 agenda at the ICPD Beyond 2014 Global Youth Forum, organized by UNFPA in Bali in December 2012, in which more than 600 youth participated. A consultation for Central and Eastern Europe was also organized by the ASTRA Network, in partnership with the Eastern European Alliance for Reproductive Choice, from 26 to 27 January 2013 in Moscow, Russian Federation, involving 20 experts from the region.

Yes health system has been an important point of discussion. The changing trends as well as outreach of the medical help to the extremes have led to some degradation. So some health consultation program had been done on view of the health concerns in Botswana. Several delegates had been present with their views upon the health reform sector and it was necessary to deal with all these as early as possible to avoid any future problems.
