Frequently asked clinical questions about medical abortion [Paperback]

World Health Organization (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 23, 2006

Provision of safe abortion to the full extent of the law is an important component of reproductive health services. The development of methods of inducing abortion medically (non-surgically) has created alternative options to make abortion available to women in a variety of health-care settings. The topic has been reviewed extensively in the past five years and a number of evidence-based guidelines have been published. This booklet has no intention to repeat these guidelines, but rather to provide answers to frequently asked questions, based on a review of available evidence. By focusing on practical issues, the answers should be particularly helpful to health-care personnel who are considering establishing, or already providing, a service for medical abortion in the early first trimester.
