Description
Negash Wakgari and four co-authors trace how women move through abortion care in health sites in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Care that fits the person is a goal, but stigma and few method choices still block good care worldwide. The study came out in twenty twenty-six.
The team spoke in depth with sixteen women who sought induced abortion care at seven sites. The talks were held across a few months. Notes were coded and sorted into themes by what the women said. Five themes arose, on social and felt support, on moral views that shape care, and on access and service flow. Two more covered trust in staff skill and the bodily and felt effects of abortion.
