Reproductive health is a basic element of human health and an important pillar of social sustainable development. Based on the 2030 sustainable development goal, a global perspective should be given to the broader relationship between human beings and the earth and the natural ecological environment. The purpose of reproductive health is not only to reduce the death rate and improve the quality and the rate of the birth, but also to promote the sustainable development of human beings, resources, and environment. This paper systematically discussed the development of reproductive health theory and the current situation of global reproductive health, in order to clarify the important status and role of reproductive health in the national health and to promote the high-quality development of maternal and child health.
