This chapter presents an overview of the International Family Planning Fellowship Program (IFPFP) in Ghana – one approach to increase women’s access to quality contraception and abortion services by integrating family planning and comprehensive abortion care training to build a dedicated workforce. Ghana is a low-middle income country in West Africa, where it is estimated that 1% of women will die from pregnancy related causes. The importance of family planning and abortion in efforts to improve health has been recognized by the Ghanaian government, which has prioritized family planning and legalized abortion as part of efforts to reduce pregnancy related mortality. Introducing formalized post-graduate training in family planning and abortion complements these efforts by attracting and retaining physicians dedicated to clinical service, training, leadership, and advocacy.
