Clinical Practice Handbook for Safe Abortion

Source: Geneva: World Health Organization; 2014. WHO Guidelines Approved by the Guidelines Review Committee

Excerpt
The Clinical practice handbook for safe abortion care is intended to facilitate the practical application of the clinical recommendations from the second edition of Safe abortion: technical and policy guidance for health systems (World Health Organization [WHO] 2012). While legal, regulatory, policy and service-delivery contexts may vary from country to country, the recommendations and best practices described in both of these documents aim to enable evidence-based decision-making with respect to safe abortion care.
