specific death rates for young people are also much higher in developing countries, largely because of the
combination of higher incidences of diseases and higher case fatalities.
Adolescence is a crossroad to the promotion of future health and should be gateway. The benefits, which
occur in meeting the challenge of promoting health and development of adolescents, far outweigh the
costs saved by neglect of adolescents needs. Their health is not only important for their sake, but for the
health of communities and generations to come. However, despite urgent needs, program efforts have
been slow surrounded by controversies. In some countries of the world there are still controversies in
relation to information to unwed girls about sex related matters. Sex education in many societies is often
a challenging and difficult issue for both youth and adults. Little is known about overall reproductive
morbidity, during and outside the child bearing, but is estimated to be of large magnitude. What is
visible is only the tip of the iceberg. Adolescent cancer survivors need to have safe future. The need
is of modalities of the rigorous implementation of health programs for the adolescents with concept
of prevention, early case detection, cure, rehabilitation, and health promotion. Helping adolescents
protect their own health should be a public health priority. Beyond benefiting young people, themselves,
increased investment in adolescents sexual and reproductive health contributes to broader development
goals, especially improvement in the overall status of women, eventually, reduction in poverty and
further development.
