Women’s experiences of post-abortion care services at health facilities in Somaliland – A qualitative study among women with incomplete abortion

The study highlights the vital role of family and friend in encouraging women to seek care. However, it reveals significant gaps, particularly in counselling, community awareness, and emergency care. Many women reported continued pain and bleeding after discharge, indicating the need for service improvement. Further quantitative research is needed to assess the capacity of health facilities to deliver comprehensive PAC. The Health authority and policy maker should support further research and increase investment in midwifery training and continuous professional development to improve access to and quality of PAC.
