Abstract

Medical abortion was the preferred method, and overall management was aligned with WHO guidelines. However, patient satisfaction was moderate. Improving infrastructure, ensuring privacy, reducing waiting times, enhancing post-abortion counseling, and providing tailored health education with regular service evaluations are needed to improve the quality of abortion care and patient satisfaction.
