| dc.description.abstract | Unsafe abortion is among one of the leading
causes of maternal mortality in Africa. In the Sub-
Saharan Africa region, women are most likely to die
from unsafe abortion. As of 2019, the Sub-Saharan
Africa region has the highest abortion-related
case-fatality rate of any world region. Sierra Leone
has one of the highest maternal mortality rates
in the world, currently at 717 for every 100,000
births, and about 10 % of these are due to unsafe
abortion. Most of these deaths are preventable
with better access to sexual and reproductive
health (SRH) services and information, particularly
family planning and post-abortion care. | en_US |
