Sexual health is an important part of a person’s physical, emotional, mental, and social wellbeing. In the National Health Executive (NHE) Gillian Leng, director of health and social care at NICE, asks how are we protecting it?
NICE has played a key role in setting standards for good sexual health and has produced a suite of evidence-based products: seven guidelines; five quality standards; and two interventional procedures on the topic. A new impact report on sexual health shows how NICE’s work in this priority area is making a difference, it also helps to identify areas for improvement.

Governments provide an average of 51% of a country’s health spending, while more than 35% of health spending per country comes from out-of-pocket expenses. The report highlights a trend of increasing domestic public funding for health in low- and middle-income countries and declining external funding in middle-income countries. Reliance on out-of-pocket expenses is declining slowly around the world.
