Abstract
The World Health Organization reported 93,000
maternal deaths due to miscarriages and abortions
yearly in developing countries. This represents more
than 13% of all pregnancy-related deaths, and is
especially prevalent in settings where access to safe
health-care services is difficult. Miscarriages and
abortions contribute excessively to maternal
morbidity and mortality in under-developed and
developing countries.
Complications from unsafe, induced and
spontaneous abortions/miscarriages are recognized
worldwide as a main public health fear and are one of
the foremost reason women seek critical care. A lot
of women survive with pelvic inflammatory disease,
chronic pain, risk of ectopic pregnancies and
infertility. Most mortalities and morbidities are
actually preventable through in-time access to safe
health-care and contraception services. Postabortion care, refers to specific services for those
females who are experiencing problems from all
types of spontaneous miscarriages or induced
abortions. This term is commonly used by the
'international community for reproductive health'.
Availability of services for post-abortion care must
be improved to reduce maternal mortality and
morbidity. Midwives, nurses and junior/senior
doctors can safely provide post-abortion care even in
outpatient settings; only if they receive appropriate
support and training. Access to health-care services
and contraception facilities decreases the need for it
and averts complications. It is much less expensive to
prevent unsafe abortion/miscarriage rather to treat
resulting complications
