Eastern Europe and Central Asia
The countries of Central and Eastern Europe and
Central Asia may be grouped on the basis of geography, common needs,
cultural cohesion and the adequacy of their health support systems.
Some largely developed countries in the region (Czech Republic,
Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and the Slovak
Republic) are looking forward to joining the European Union as early
as 2004. Another group of countries, including Albania, Armenia,
Georgia, Romania, the Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey, continue
to need selective assistance from the international community in
such areas as HIV/AIDS prevention, affordable reproductive health
commodities, advocacy of reproductive rights, reproductive health
needs of young people, reproductive health education and gender
issues. more
