Abortion

The º£½Ç»»ÆÞ2020 abortion module produced improved estimates of several abortion-related indicators. Results from the female survey provide new insights into the frequency, correlates, and safety of induced abortion in these settings, including information on the characteristics of women who have abortions and their pathways to termination within and outside the formal healthcare system. Facility data illustrate induced abortion and postabortion service availability and readiness to provide quality care. Four-page briefs highlighting abortion survey results are available.
