Mahmoud F. Fathalla and Rebecca J. Cook published the editorial Women, abortion and the new technical and policy guidance from WHO in the current issue of the Bulletin of the WHO.
The basis of this was the publication of the updated Safe Abortion: technical and policy guidance for health systems by the WHO. The authors expressed their concerns "that until abortion is decriminalized, the tragedy of
unsafe abortion will continue to haunt us and to threaten the life,
health and rights of women. Furthermore, research aimed at developing
simpler, improved methods for performing induced abortion has the
potential to save the lives of millions of women globally".
The WHO guidelines are available here.
