Pathways to medical abortion self-use (MASU): results from a cross-sectional survey of women's experiences in Kenya and Uganda.

Background: In Kenya and Uganda, unsafe abortions are a leading cause of maternal mortality. The new WHO policy guidelines on the safe termination of pregnancies up to 9 weeks lack information on women's experiences with self-administered medical abortion (MA), impeding the development of interventions to increase MA use. This study aimed to comprehend women's experiences with MA in Kenyan and Ugandan pharmacies.
