@WHO’s @bganatra: “The science has advanced so much that the interventions we need are simple, safe, primary health care-level and can very easily be adopted by countries”

[Bela Ganatra @bganatra]

@devex article on the @WomenDeliver discussions points out that providing safe abortion care per @WHO @HRPresearch guidance is safe, simple and countries like Benin and Nepal are leading the way in demonstrating how it can be integrated into primary health care. @SheDecidesGFI
