Figures released by the WHO in January 2012 show that Africa is the most dangerous place in the world to get pregnant. And ending a pregnancy is highly dangerous too. In Africa, 29,000 women die every year, as a result of unsafe abortions.
This is a public health emergency and the issue of unsafe abortions was high on the agenda at the World Conference on Family Planning, held last year in the Seneglese capital Dakar.
During that conference, we spoke with three medical doctors who have had first-hand experience with the consequences of unsafe abortions and are determined to improve reproductive health for women.
Guests:
Dr. Edgar Kuchingale (Malawi),
Dr. Otobo Ujah, Nigeria
Dr. Eunice Brookman-Amissah (Ghana,Kenya)
