Summary

Unsafe abortion-related morbidity and mortality (UARMM) impacts welfare at the individual, household, community and national levels. This report surveys the empirical information available on costing unsafe abortions, to develop an analytical framework for cost estimation, to describe the methodological approaches available, given the constraints of the subject matter, and finally to estimate cost ranges within the limitations of data on unsafe abortions
