Ethiopia has made remarkable progress in expanding access to and provision of comprehensive abortion care. However, complications due to unsafe abortion still contributes to a significant proportion of maternal mortality in the country. As efforts to increase accessibility, availability, acceptability, and quality of comprehensive abortion care continue, evaluating service quality is critical. This study assesses the quality of comprehensive abortion care in public health facilities, from clients’ perspectives, in four regions of Ethiopia to examine how person-centered care differs based on facility and service characteristics.
