Post-abortion family planning.
In many countries, reproductive health services do not actively include post-abortion family planning services for women who are treated for complications of unsafe abortion.

The authors, drawing on the recommendations of a meeting of experts, make a plea for bridging the gap and dealing more realistically with this urgent need.
