About ZAGO

To reduce cases of unsafe abortions that are contributing 7% to maternal deaths

ZAGO is confident that the implementation of our strategic plan will contribute towards increasing access to integrated reproductive health and family planning services and thereby, help reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. We also believe that this plan will contribute towards prevention and treatment of other health challenges that our women and adolescent girls face such as the emerging conditions of NCDs and gynecological cancers.

QUANTITATIVE STUDY WITH WOMEN
Impediments to provision of safe abortion

A total of 20 interviews were conducted for CAC providers. Our research findings revealed the following factors as major impediments to provision of safe abortion services thereby contributing to a rise in unsafe abortion cases, which unfortunately lead to high maternal morbidity and mortality

Shortage of staff
Provision of service optional
Constant Shortages of supplies and medication

We reviewed reasons that women gave for their termination of pregnancy from the hospital records for the period under review.
