Pharmacy workers in Nepal can provide the correct information about using mifepristone and misoprostol to women seeking medication to induce abortion
In Nepal, despite policy restrictions, both
registered and unregistered brands of mifepristone and misoprostol can
easily be obtained at pharmacies. Since many women visit pharmacies for
abortion information, ensuring that they receive effective care from
pharmacy workers remains an important challenge. We conducted an
operations research study to examine whether trained pharmacy workers can
correctly provide information on safe use of mifepristone and misoprostol
for early first trimester medical abortion.
