State under Review
Recommendation
JS2, JS3 and JS4 reported on cases of refusal to perform abortions in some public hospitals. JS2 stated that abortion on request could be expensive, and the costs were not subsidized. Women continued to resort to illegal and unsafe abortions putting their health and life at risk given the financial constraints, the refusal of state medical units to fulfil their legal obligations to perform such medical intervention and the lack of access to emergency contraception. [Para 39]
