Abortion and family planning status of Murshidabad and West Bengal: A Comparative Analysis
Journal Title: The Journal of Community Health Management - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The estimated population of India is 1.16 billion individual(1) and is projected to be 1.48 billion people by 2030, surpassing China as the world’s most populous nation.(1) With 16% of the world's population, India accounts for over 20% of the world's maternal deaths. Abortion has been legalized in India for the past three decades. However, the availability of safe abortion services is limited, resulting in a large number of informal abortion service providers and unsafe abortions, especially in rural areas; most abortion facilities are located in urban areas, whereas more than 70% of Indian women live in rural areas.
