The flipchart outlines different procedures to reduce the risk of post-abortion complications, self-care instructions for after receiving post-abortion treatment, warning signs for identifying complications, as well as a guide for assessing the patient’s medical condition. The flipchart also discusses some reasons for unplanned pregnancy and the risks involved with unsafe abortions, and an explanation of how a woman becomes pregnant and contraception options prevent pregnancy. Enclosed are a prototype client brochure and a user’s guide to assist health workers and program managers in using the flipchart. Each page offers questions for guiding client counseling and education sessions, essential information that the counselor should convey, and key actions that should be taken post-abortion for the care of the client. less

Its founding vision was a strong commitment to improving maternal health – and that commitment remains central to the organization’s mission. With eight field offices, FCI now spends over two-thirds of its budget on strengthening reproductive health programs in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean. FCI creates tools and resources to strengthen services in more than 100 countries. FCI advances its work by strengthening national and international commitment and resources for people-centered policies and programs, encouraging action through the exchange of information and experience, and building the capacity of partners in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean to design, implement, and evaluate national strategies and model programs. Integral to both these strategies is the production of quality and comprehensive advocacy and education materials that reinforce programmatic efforts.
