Welcome
Incomplete abortion, whether spontaneous (miscarriage) or induced, is a global health problem, killing close to 70,000 women each year. Postabortion care (PAC) is a strategy to address this problem by treating women with complications, providing family planning to prevent future abortions, and engaging communities.
The PAC Consortium was formed over a decade ago to inform the reproductive health community about complications related to miscarriage and incomplete abortion, and to promote PAC as an effective strategy for addressing this global problem.
Individually and in collaboration, the PAC Consortium agencies implement postabortion care programs around the world, and also encourage technical agencies, governments and donors to incorporate postabortion care into their own programs and policies as a critical step in reducing deaths and injuries of women from complications related to miscarriage and abortion-related consequences.
This website is a venue to inform colleagues about PAC-related activities and exchange technical information about postabortion care. Please send your comments, questions, news items, or resources to share to info@pac-consortium.org.
