The objective of the PAC guideline addendum is to harmonise all existing PAC guidance within the different guidelines and frameworks in order to provide a strengthened guideline that offers holistic, comprehensive, clear and easy to implement guidance to ensure clients receive quality and safe post abortion care services, complete with
dignity, psychological and emotional support. This in turn will reduce preventable death and disability attributable to abortion complications in the country.

Maternal deaths and complications attributable to abortion are entirely preventable through timely provision of quality post abortion care (PAC). This addendum to the Essential Maternal and Newborn Clinical Care Guidelines (EMNCG) 2022 is meant to offer the detailed guidance to health workers and partners working on and with PAC clients to optimize positive outcomes.
