- W4385576872 abstract "Abstract Background In Kenya and Uganda, unsafe abortions are a leading cause of maternal mortality. The new WHO policy guidelines on the safe termination of pregnancies up to 9 weeks lack information on women’s experiences with self-administered medical abortion (MA), impeding the development of interventions to increase MA use. This study aimed to comprehend women’s experiences with MA in Kenyan and Ugandan pharmacies. Methods A cross-sectional mixed-methods survey utilized data from medical registers in 71 purposefully identified pharmacies and clinics dispensing MA drugs between September and October 2021. Forty women who were MA users participated in focus group discussions. The main outcome variables were: sources of MA information, costs of MA services, complications from MA, pain management, follow-up rates, and use of post-MA contraception. Quantitative data were analyzed using Stata 15, while qualitative thematic analysis was conducted using Dedoose qualitative analysis software. Results 73.6% of 2,366 women got an MA, both in Kenya (79%) and Uganda (21%). Most (59.1%) were walk-in clients. Kenya had significantly more women referred for MA (49.9%) than Uganda (10.1%) (p 0.05). Friends and family members were the main sources of MA information. The median cost of MA was USD 18 (IQR 10–60.5) in Kenya and USD 4.2 (IQR 2–12) in Uganda. Most MA clients received pain management (89.6%), were followed up (81%), and received post-MA contraception (97.6%). Qualitative results indicated a lack of medicines, high costs of MA, complications, stigma, and inadequate training of providers as barriers to MA use. Conclusions and recommendations Communities are a valuable information resource for MA, but only if they have access to the right information. A relatively weak health referral system in Uganda highlights the importance of pharmacies and clinicians collaborating to support clients’ abortion needs and contraceptive use after medical abortion (MA). Low client follow-up rates show how important it is to make sure pharmacy technicians know how to give MA correctly. Finally, it is crucial to strengthen the supply chain for MA products in order to eliminate cost barriers to access." @default.
