Summary
Only a few kinds of interventions account for most of the reductions in maternal mortality rates over the past 20 years.These are directed at the most important causes of maternal deaths worldwide.Unsafe abortion remains among the three leading causes in countries where access to safe abortion is restricted by law or tradition, notably in Africa and Latin America.Reduction of maternal deaths from unsafe abortion depends on adequate training of doctors and nurses to provide it.Several chapters in this book describe national programs to reduce maternal mortality that incorporated abortion training into both basic and post graduate education of health care providers.This chapter provides the rationale for training in safe abortion to reduce maternal mortality and the key components of successful efforts.
