Abstract

Unsafe abortion is critical public health problem and one of the risk factor contributing to maternal deaths. An abortion is labelled as “Unsafe” when it is carried out either by an untrained or unauthorized person lacking the necessary Medical qualifications or in an unhygienic environment that does not conform to minimal medical standards, or both1. The authors report the case of a young adult female, who died due to complication of self-induced unsafe abortion. The authors aim to highlight the risk and fatality associated with unsafe abortion and also the fact that despite so much public awareness programmes female are still being exposed to dangerous abortion methods which leads to life-threatening condition of the woman and even fatality as in this case. The Medical facilities with appropriate equipment, trained staff at a reasonable cost, Post Delivery/Post abortion family planning counselling and awareness about contraceptive use may be helpful and useful in addressing the issue.

Keywords: Self-induced abortion, Unsafe Abortion, MTP Act 1971, MTP (Amendment) Bill 2020.
