Unsafe abortion is a preventable phenomenon and continues to be a major public health problem in many countries especially in the developing world. Despite abortion being legally available in South Africa after a change in legislation in 1996, barriers to accessing safe abortion services continue to exist. These barriers include provider opposition to abortion, and a shortage of trained and willing abortion providers. The dearth of abortion providers undermines the availability of safe, legal abortion, and has serious implications for women's access to abortion services and health service planning. 2014-12-30T19:49:21Z 2014-12-30T19:49:21Z 2010 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10623 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
