This study in 2012 explored women’s and providers’ perspectives in
Zimbabwe on the acceptability of the use of misoprostol as a form of
treatment for complications of abortion in post-abortion care. In-depth
interviews were conducted with 115 participants at seven post-abortion
care facilities. Participants included 73 women of reproductive age who
received services for incomplete abortion and 42 providers, including
