While Romania ranks 2nd in Europe in terms of teenage pregnancies, the topic continues to remain invisible on the public agenda. Local experience tells us that the access of teenage mothers to education, social protection and primary health services remains limited by multiple barriers: from limited access to health prevention measure, health information, social rights to limited no. of trained professionals working at local level or the continuous prevalence of discrimination and gender stereotypes. (...) Objectives and results Supporting young people to develop safe, healthy relationships and prevent unplanned pregnancy is key to enabling them to fulfil their aspirations and potential. 2 For effective local delivery, health, education, social care and safeguarding agencies need to understand the relevance of healthy relationships and teenage pregnancy to their own priorities, and how they can contribute to the solution. (...)

Implementation within a health system. There are many groups which have played their part in this first stage of raising awareness globally, nationally and locally and which need to continue to do so. (...) The actual process adopted in a country will depend on local circumstances and local cultures and traditions. (...) I would argue on the basis of this analysis that there are three major changes needed to accelerate progress: National leaders need to take much greater control of delivery with international partners supporting their efforts – recognising that implementation is essentially a local process that needs to be led locally. There needs to be much more attention given to developing robust processes for implementing improvements within a health system – which incorporate the essential ingredients of leadership, health worker engagement in service improvement, appropriate skill mixes and training, constant learning and continuous communications.
