​​​​​​​​​Women’s pathways to medication abortion in Oromia state, Ethiopia: A qualitative study

Despite having one of the more liberal abortion laws in Africa, approximately half of abortions in Ethiopia continue to take place outside of health facilities. Use of medication abortion (MA) has increased dramatically however there remains a lack of data on women’s experiences using MA, including both those who received MA in a facility setting, and those who took MA without clinical supervision (i.e. had a self-managed abortion). Our study aimed to explore women’s experiences using MA in Oromia, Ethiopia.
