Abstract
Abortion constitutes an important health problem for women in many countries. Although accurate data on the impact of unsafe abortion on maternal health is lacking, recent WHO estimates indicate that up to 15% of pregnancy- related-mortality is due to abortion. In Egypt the legal religious and societal restrictions on the issue abortion have constrained the provision of high quality emergency health care services provided to post-abortion patients, including linkages with family planning services. In most cases medical training and clinical practices are inadequate . The standard treatment of incomplete abortion in dilatation and curettage ( D & C ) which is usually performed in the operating theater under general anesthesia. This places the patient at risk for a number of complication including hemorrhage and uterine perforation. It also poses a significant drain on scarce health care resources. Moreover, the management of psychological stress associated with abortion and providing adequate information and counseling of post-abortion patients as a humane and preventive measure to avoid subsequent unplanned pregnancies is nearly non-existent in most hospital.
