New Program Aims to Curb Induced Abortions Through Education and Support

The Maternal and Child Health Center has launched a new programme aimed at preventing induced abortions. It forms part of the national Long and Active Life project. The initiative focuses on educating women about safe, modern contraception to reduce unintended pregnancies. The programme takes an interdisciplinary approach. It combines health education, psychological support, and promotion of contraceptive methods. Specialists at the centre now offer pre-abortion counselling for women facing unplanned pregnancies.

Medical professionals highlight the risks of pregnancy termination. These include endocrine disorders, infertility, and miscarriage. Psychological effects, such as post-abortion syndrome, can also occur, leading to depression and emotional distress.

Efforts are being made to raise awareness about low-dose combined oral contraceptives. Doctors stress that these are safe when prescribed and properly supervised. The goal is to ease anxiety, improve reproductive motivation, and help patients make informed choices about continuing their pregnancies. The centre’s programme aims to reduce induced abortions by addressing both medical and psychological concerns. It provides women with the knowledge and support needed to make decisions about their reproductive health. The initiative is expected to contribute to fewer unintended pregnancies and better-informed choices.
