Women's needs toward post abortion care: A step toward woman centered

Although abortion procedures are not complicated from a medical or technical point of view, the "elective" nature of abortion requires that it be provided with particular care to ensure the future reproductive health of women is not compromised. Some women commented that their access to information and services was often hampered by physicians who were unhelpful and/or considered themselves "pro-life". This manual is a resource for health care workers delivering all elements of woman-centered, abortion care, including post-abortion care. It contains the instructions and materials needed to help participants develop the knowledge and skills necessary to provide high-quality care.
