Assessing facility capacity to provide safe abortion and post-abortion care in Liberia: a 2021 signal function survey across 48 public health facilities
The study highlights the limitations to providing basic SAC and PAC among our sample of public health facilities in Liberia and the poor capacity of these health facilities to provide comprehensive PAC and SAC services in particular. Full implementation of the 2019 National Comprehensive Abortion Care Guidelines could strengthen critical SAC and PAC services by ensuring adequate resources and training of the healthcare workforce.
