High severity of abortion complications in fragile and conflict‑affected settings: a cross‑sectional study in two referral hospitals in sub‑Saharan Africa (AMoCo study)

This study describes the magnitude and severity of abortion-related complications in two referral hospitals located in two different types of fragile and conflict-affected settings and supported by Médecins Sans Frontières. The data suggest a high severity of abortion-related complications in these two facilities and highlight the need for better access to safe abortion care, contraception, and high quality postabortion care to prevent and manage complications of abortion in fragile and conflict-affected settings.
