Measuring Abortion Incidence, Severity of Complications, and Health Facilities’ Capacity to Provide Abortion Care in Refugee Settings in Ethiopia: Technical Report

Humanitarian crises disrupt essential services, making it difficult for people to access basic care, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. While data on SRH services in humanitarian settings is lacking, even less is known about how common abortion is or the severity of abortion-related complications in these settings. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of induced abortion, determine the severity of abortion related complications, and assess the capacity of the health system to offer safe abortion and quality post-abortion care to women living in refugee settings.
