The research evaluated the reproductive health literacy among midwifery and nursing students at Dhaka Central International Nursing College and Institute, Bangladesh. Based on a quantitative and cross-sectional design, the study assessed the knowledge levels in menstrual health, contraception, STIs and maternal complications in a sample size of 126 participants. Findings show that although 58.73 percent of students exhibited an excellent or good level of knowledge, great disparities still exist when it comes to other areas of high reproductive health like complications associated with pregnancy such as preeclampsia and the screenings that should be conducted to prevent such complications such as Pap smears. Statistically, the academic program type and maternal education level had a significant correlation with knowledge attainment. The results reinforce the necessity of curriculum change, including the incorporation of interactive and practice-based learning and standardized sexual health courses since these strategies will help future providers of reproductive health become holistic and evidence-based practitioners.
