2020, Best Practice and Research: Clinical Obstetrics and GynaecologyCitation Excerpt :Although abortion law in Nepal and the WHO do not currently allow/recommend pharmacy provision of MA, our review suggests that pharmacy workers are often the first contact point for women seeking abortion and serve as an important source of information and referral [17,18]. They are more accessible and affordable and may offer increased privacy compared to public facilities [17,19,20]. Although limited, studies conducted in Nepal have demonstrated that trained pharmacy workers who adhere to the standard of care set forth in national guidelines can safely and effectively provide MA including performance of bimanual exam.
