Postabortion care includes the timely management of an unsafe or spontaneous abortion (spontaneous loss of pregnancy) that has happened or is in progress; it has been a global strategy to reduce the morbidity and mortality related to less safe abortions. For all people having an abortion, postabortion care includes information and voluntary provision of postabortion contraception or other desired reproductive health services. 2024-06-17T17:28:03Z 2024-06-17T17:28:03Z 2024-05-22 Artículo Kapp, N., Romero, M., Dupte , S., Shaber, A., & Grossman, D.
