3.3  Post-abortion care

  • What are the components of post-abortion care? (Remember you studied this in Study Session 20 of the Antenatal Care, Part 2 Module.)

  • Post-abortion care has three important components:

    1. Emergency treatment of abortion and potentially life-threatening complications
    2. Post-abortion family planning services including counselling
    3. Making links between the post-abortion emergency services and the reproductive healthcare system.
