“Reproductive health was an essential component of health and was a precondition for human , economic and
social progress. The highest possible level of health was not only a basic human right, but also a socio-economic
imperative because the driving forces of growth were human energy and innovation (OHCHR, 2014).
Reproductive health is an important health feature and a major determinant of human growth. Reproductive
health is a significant part of the population's health needs. The definition of reproductive health acknowledges
the variety of women 's special health needs before, during, and after childhood as well as men's needs The
present study is about the Health status of women belonging to Irular Tribe in Cuddalore District Tamil Nadu. It
offers empirical data on the reproductive health of tribal women, on the one hand, and on reproductive health
and treatment, on the other”.
