In Kenya, unsafe abortion has long been recognized as a leading cause of death and injury for women. Under the new Kenyan constitution, abortion is legal under certain circumstances, but many providers have still not been trained in safe abortion care, and women continue to seek unsafe procedures and suffer complications. In neighboring Uganda, abortion-related causes account for 26 percent of maternal deaths, and most women who have abortions undergo unsafe procedures.
This reference guide provides information and recommendations based on evidence for medical abortion at or after 13 weeks gestation, sometimes called induction abortion or termination in the second trimester, using misoprostol-based regimens (mifepristone plus misoprostol or misoprostol only) for women who need either induced abortion, treatment of incomplete abortion or postabortion care.
A calculadora de AMIU é uma ferramenta para os gestores de aquisições e distribuidores das unidades sanitárias que calculam o número de aspiradores de aspiração manual intra-uterina (AMIU) que deve ser mantido em stock nas unidades sanitárias. Ao usar dados das unidades sanitárias, a calculadora de AMIU estimará a quantidade apropriada de aspiradores Ipas AMIU Plus® e Válvula Simples para satisfazer a demanda. A calculadora usa uma metodologia de previsão baseada em estatÃsticas e desenvolvida por John Snow, Inc., de acordo com o número médio de casos e factor de reuso de instrumentos Ipas AMIU de 25.
Le calculateur d’AMIU est destiné aux distributeurs et responsables de l’approvisionnement des institutions de santé qui doivent calculer le nombre d’aspirateurs manuels intra-utérins (AMIU) qu’il est nécessaire de conserver en stock dans chaque institution de santé. En fonction des données de l’institution, le calculateur d’AMIU d’Ipas estimera les quantités appropriées d’aspirateurs Ipas AMIU Plus et d’aspirateurs à valve unique correspondant au volume de travail. Il utilise une méthode de prévision statistique développée par John Snow, Inc., fondée sur un volume de travail quotidien moyen, et un facteur de réutilisation des instruments d’AMIU de 25.
