Evidence-based sexual and reproductive health is a global endeavor without borders.
Inter-sectorial collaboration is essential for identifying and addressing gaps in evidence.
Health research funders and regulators are promoting patient and public involvement in research,
but there is a lack of quality tools for involving patients. Partnerships with patients are necessary
to produce and promote robust, relevant and timely research. Without the active participation of
women as stakeholders, not just as research subjects, the societal benefits of research cannot be
realized. Creating and developing platforms and opportunities for public involvement in sexual and
reproductive health research should be a key international objective. Cooperation between healthcare
professionals, academic institutions and the community is essential to promote quality research and
significant developments in women’s health. This cooperation will be improved when involvement
of citizens in the research process becomes standard.
