"It's shocking that around 800 women still die from preventable pregnancy-related causes every day and that these numbers have not moved significantly for a decade. Abortion care remains a neglected issue. Almost half of the 73 million induced abortions carried out each year are unsafe, putting women at risk of infection and death and less than half of all countries provide people with safe abortion care services. Programs to deliver comprehensive contraceptive services face bureaucratic and staffing bottlenecks that need to be overcome."
