Abstract:
Unsafe abortion refers to an abortion that is unclean or unhealthy, conducted by an incompetent or untrained birth attendant using improper procedures. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (2011), an unsafe abortion is the termination of an unplanned pregnancy by incompetent personnel or in an atmosphere devoid of minimal medical standards, or both. [1] Many social, physical, and biological factors contribute to unsafe abortions and their related problems. A botched abortion may result in life-threatening consequences.
