Article Synopsis
- Unsafe abortions remain a major cause of maternal deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa, with post-abortion care (PAC) seeking to reduce complications and prevent future unwanted pregnancies.
- In Kenya, the quality of PAC is compromised by legal restrictions, negative societal attitudes, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure, leading to delays in treatment and increased risk of complications.
- Cultural and policy barriers limit access to PAC, resulting in discrimination and discouraging women from seeking necessary care, thereby exacerbating the issue of unsafe abortions.
