Self-managed abortion as a humanitarian revolution: accounts of a telehealth pilot in the Middle East.

Background: Access to safe abortion care (SAC) should be improved in fragile and humanitarian settings, and the implementation of interventions in that regard are currently limited. This is especially true for self-managed abortion (SMA), although it holds the potential of revolutionizing the prevention of maternal death and suffering.

Case Presentation: The medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) piloted a self-managed abortion model of care in the Middle East.
