Limpopo activists demand abortion services at all public health facilities

Limpopo - The Treatment Action Campaign in Limpopo demands the health department to make abortion services available at all health facilities in the province, instead of using a referral system.

“It’s not an everyday thing that people will queue to terminate a pregnancy. If we have such a service in all our facilities you’ll find some will take up to two months without a patient coming in and there would be a health worker placed there for that service and being paid,” Shikwambana said. “If that person doesn’t have taxi fare, they might try to perform the termination themselves out of desperation and could end up killing themselves,” Matlou told Health-e News.
