Unsafe abortions constitute a huge burden to the health system. Approximately 40% of admissions for emergency obstetric care in Uganda are a result of unsafe abortion. Yet unsafe abortion and its consequences come at a premium: each year, the health system spends up to Ushs7.5 billion on treating abortion related complications.
