Contraceptive and sexual health services during the Covid-19 pandemic and recovery
“As it is about that, they do as they please”
Accessing acceptable postabortion care (PAfor remains a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, where abortion is legally restricted and highly stigmatized, particularly for young and socioeconomically disadvantaged women. Evidence on the specific obstacles faced by these groups in rural and semi-urban settings is limited. This study explored women’s experiences with PAC quality in Kaya, a small town in Burkina Faso. We conducted in-depth intervie…
Global maternal mortality associated with Sars-CoV-2 infection
Effectiveness and safety of Covid-19 vaccines on maternal and perinatal outcomes
Searching for Needles in a Haystack
This study aims to describe the circumstances under which women obtained abortions in two sites, explore more nuanced approaches to classify abortion safety and examine the relationship between safety and self‐reported health outcomes. We analyze data on the most recent abortion or only abortion reported by 551 women in Nairobi slums and 479 women in rural Kaya ages 15–49 years within the three years preceding the study, recruited via respondent‐…
Using Respondent-Driven Sampling to measure abortion safety in restrictive contexts
Background : Due to restrictive laws and limited service provision, globally the majority of induced abortions are unsafe and remain largely undocumented, despite their negative impact on women’s health. \n Objective : The purpose of this study is to test Respondent-Driven Sampling – used previously in HIV research – for abortion, and to measure abortion safety characteristics in the small town of Kaya and surrounding villages (Burkina Faso) and …
Understanding abortion-related complications in health facilities
INTRODUCTION: Complications due to unsafe abortions are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many sub-Saharan African countries. We aimed to characterise abortion-related complication severity, describe their management, and to report women's experience of abortion care in Africa. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was implemented in 210 health facilities across 11 sub-Saharan African countries. Data were collected on women's characteri…
Abortion metrics
Consensus is lacking on the most appropriate indicators to document progress in safe abortion at programmatic and country level. We conducted a scoping review to provide an extensive summary of abortion indicators used over 10 years (2008–2018) to inform the debate on how progress in the provision and access to abortion care can be best captured. Documents were identified in PubMed and Popline and supplemented by materials identified on major non…
Abortion-related morbidity in six Latin American and Caribbean countries
INTRODUCTION: Abortion-related complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among women in many Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. The objective of this study was to characterise abortion-related complication severity, describe the management of these complications and report women's experiences with abortion care in selected countries of the Americas region. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of 70 health fac…
What’s needed to improve safety and quality of abortion care
box In the advent of safe methods, access to information and trained providers, abortion has become a very safe procedure; however, unsafe abortions continue to persist in many parts of the world. Unsafe abortions account for half of all abortions globally, with the majority occurring in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and Caribbean (LAC).1 Severe abortion-related complications arise from least safe abortions.1 Between 2008 and 2013, it was …
EviSIP
Maternal mortality is unacceptably high in our region. In 2015, the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Women ́s Reproductive Health (CLAP) created a regional network of institutions including 16 countries, committed to improving epidemiological surveillance and healthcare of women in a situation of abortion or near miss event, using a common platform, the Perinatal Information System (SIP). The objective of the current pilot project was t…
