The Acceptability of Medical Abortion in China, Cuba and India

Efficacité et acceptabilité de l'interruption volontaire de grossesse par méthode médicamenteuse pratiquée sans hospitalisation dans le cadre d'un réseau ville–hôpital : étude prospective sur 433 patientes

Cette bonne acceptabilité de l'avortement médicamenteux est retrouvée dans de nombreuses études où 88 à 97 % des femmes se déclarent satisfaites voire très satisfaites [28,29].

In clinical studies, women frequently cite the number of clinic visits as a reason for not choosing medical abortion [5][6][7][8]. If medical abortion is chosen, frequent non-compliance with the follow-up visit schedule can be expected.…”
