Abstract

It is necessary for frameworks for health indicators to include the broad determinants of health, plus incorporate gender as a central component for analysis, so to be sensitive enough to detect gender differences in health experiences and enable consideration of equity in the analysis of health system performance. Some additional principles and strategies for the development and use of gender-sensitive health indicators include the building of effective monitoring and reporting systems which have linkages with governance, health system development and health sector reform processes, and adequate infrastructure and capacity building.
