Abortion Care, Unsafe Abortion and Postabortion Care in Malawi

In Malawi, obtaining safe abortion care is a challenge. Medical facilities often lack preparation to provide these services. This can lead to severe consequences for women seeking to terminate pregnancies. A recent court decision may bring change by redefining what constitutes a threat to a woman's health. The current law is based on outdated regulations. For more information on the situation and potential improvements, details are available from the Guttmacher Institute, which has published a fact sheet on the topic.
