Abstract:
In many developing countries, maternal deaths occur mainly as a result of unsafe abortions, a situation reflecting the inaccessibility of safe abortion services in such countries. In Ethiopia, unsafe abortion accounts for 32% of maternal deaths and almost 60% of gynaecological admissions, and is one of the top ten causes of general hospital admissions.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the views of women about the accessibility of safe abortion services in governmental health centres.
