Conference on Birth Rates – Women’s Health and the Chance for the Future
During the recent conference on birth rates, I had the honor of participating alongside Senator Professor Carmen Orban in a dialogue focused on improving couple health through comprehensive screening, early diagnosis, and prevention of gynecological diseases. This integrated approach is a cornerstone of national fertility efforts, as early detection of conditions such as adenomyosis, endometriosis, and pre-malignant or malignant lesions can directly influence reproductive capacity.
Recent data from the World Health Organization and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology highlight a strong correlation between access to preventive programs and reduced rates of secondary infertility, as well as improved reproductive outcomes. Romania thus has the opportunity to integrate international experience into national public health policies, enhancing both the quality of medical care and the prospects for increasing birth rates.
Support must extend beyond the medical field. A strong legislative and social framework is needed to guarantee equitable access to quality healthcare, reduce disparities, and promote responsibility in managing reproductive health. In this regard, the legislative initiative proposed by Senator Professor Carmen Orban represents a decisive step toward creating a favorable environment for reproductive health and family support.
Prevention and early diagnosis should be regarded as fundamental rights with significant socio-economic implications: reducing healthcare costs, improving quality of life, and directly supporting sustainable population growth policies. I extend my sincere congratulations to Senator Professor Carmen Orban for her initiative, which demonstrates a deep understanding of this complex issue and paves the way for durable, evidence-based solutions for Romania’s future generations.
