      Despite the challenging environment of humanitarian emergencies, with focused programmatic attention, demand for quality postabortion care can be created and services delivered while voluntary contraceptive uptake for PAC clients can simultaneously increase substantially, even in settings where the use of contraception after abortion is often stigmatized. Greater representation of long-acting methods, as a proportion of the methods PAC clients chose, occurred in all 3 countries’ method mix, but at different rates.

      Integrating voluntary long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods within postabortion care (PAC) in Guinea has increased LARC uptake among PAC clients, compared with non-PAC clients. With aid from government champions and leveraging of resources, Guinea has incorporated PAC into national policies and guidelines and trained providers on PAC and LARCs to expand service provision.

      The Unit and Scale-Up Cost of Postabortion Care in Tanzania

      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2019, 7(Supplement 2):S327-S341; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00035

      Given the high burden and cost of postabortion care (PAC) in Tanzania, health policy should strengthen voluntary family planning programs and the availability of a variety of contraceptive methods to PAC clients. A particular focus should be placed on decentralizing PAC to lower-level facilities, including health centers and dispensaries, which can provide safe, accessible, and appropriate PAC at the lowest cost including surgical or medical options.

      The Quality of Postabortion Care in Tanzania: Service Provider Perspectives and Results From a Service Readiness Assessment
      Erick Yegon, Japheth Ominde, Colin Baynes, Esther Ngadaya, Rehema Kahando, Justin Kahwa and Grace Lusiola
      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2019, 7(Supplement 2):S315-S326; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00050

      Of the approximately 2,000 postabortion care (PAC) clients treated over 6 months in 2016, 55% chose a contraceptive method before discharge. Gaps in PAC availability and quality spanned multiple domains including human resource capacity and availability of supplies and contraceptives. While PAC providers generally expressed commitment to providing high-quality care, several facility and systems factors constrained their efforts, including limited training and facility space, lack of time, and supply chain challenges.

      Women’s Satisfaction With and Perceptions of the Quality of Postabortion Care at Public-Sector Facilities in Mainland Tanzania and in Zanzibar

      Global Health: Science and Practice August 2019, 7(Supplement 2):S299-S314; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-19-00026

      Tanzanian women expressed greater satisfaction with postabortion care received at district hospitals and health centers, where they experienced shorter waiting times, more family planning counseling, and threefold greater voluntary uptake of family planning, than at regional hospitals. Continued decentralization to district hospitals would likely enhance client satisfaction with postabortion care.
