Abstract：
:Health sector reformers, particularly the economists among them, are prone to reject calls for more financial support for reproductive health as "special pleading" even when the argument is made that reproductive health is a basic human right. Reproductive health is not alone in this. Up to now, however, the idea that the right to reproductive health care should take precedence over other health rights has not been put on the table. Economists ask how much interventions cost and whether there is enough money to cover all of the interventions being proposed; if not, they ask which interventions will be funded. Basing decisions about spending for health on evidence about the burden of disease is a way of using the principles of economics to improve health systems performance. However, this methodology poses some special problems for reproductive health as pregnancy is not a disease. Further, economic principles are not the only valid criteria for decisions about health care funding. Those who are concerned about reproductive health need to remain vigilant about the impact of these changes and counter with their own evidence on how they may or may not be contributing to improved health system performance and to reproductive health and rights.
