Foreign Affairs committee  I like that you use the term “best practices”, because best practices should be written up, and they should be shared, and they should be disseminated. But that's again a long-term investment in order for a country to have the capacity to write up the best practices and to disseminate them appropriately.

Foreign Affairs committee  Obviously education is critical. The reproductive rights need to be there. A woman has to be educated enough to know what her rights are. It's not enough for the policy-makers to say that there are rights. It has to trickle down to the community level. You need to have it across the spectrum, the education of the support for the reproductive rights.

Foreign Affairs committee  I just want to add that, as Mr. Morley pointed out, many of these records departments are just filled with paper. There often is a culture of collecting useless information—a lot of information. Physicians, community health workers, nurses collect information. What's lacking is the collecting of the good information and using it properly.
