Safe Abortion and Post-Abortion Care

Women have the fundamental right to access safe abortion services, and DKT is committed to preventing unsafe abortions while expanding access to safe, legal abortion care wherever permitted. As a global leader in reproductive healthcare, DKT provides safe abortion technologies, evidence-based education, and provider training to ensure that women receive the highest standard of care.

Medical Abortion (MA) and the Abortion Pill

Medical abortion is a safe, effective, and increasingly preferred method of pregnancy termination worldwide. DKT actively registers and distributes mifepristone/misoprostol and misoprostol for both abortion and post-abortion care in various countries. Additionally, DKT:

• Trains healthcare providers in medical abortion counseling and administration
• Collaborates with Women First Digital (WFD) and its online platforms to promote self-managed abortion:
  • safe2choose: Direct support for women seeking safe abortion options
  • HowToUseAbortionPill: Educational resources on medical abortion
  • Find My Method: Comprehensive contraceptive guidance

Healthcare Provider Training

DKT has trained thousands of healthcare professionals in both the private and public sectors on:

• Best practices in abortion and post-abortion care
• Surgical abortion protocols
• Medical abortion prescription and administration
• Post-abortion family planning counseling

Expanding provider competency and capacity is essential in reducing reliance on unsafe abortion methods and improving reproductive health outcomes.

Addressing Stigma and Expanding Access

DKT develops educational and awareness campaigns to bridge information gaps and improve safe abortion access, particularly for vulnerable women in underserved areas. Our initiatives include:

• Outreach efforts in countries with liberalized abortion laws to ensure that accurate, evidence-based information reaches those who need it
• Creative solutions in restrictive environments to support post-abortion care and counseling while navigating legal constraints

By challenging stigma and misinformation, DKT ensures that women can make informed reproductive health decisions, free from fear or judgment.
