New Programme Aims to Reduce Abortions Through Support and Contraception

The Maternal and Child Health Center has launched a new programme to prevent induced abortions under the national project Long and Active Life. The initiative aims to address unplanned pregnancies through education, psychological support, and access to modern contraception. A key part of the programme is a pre-abortion psychological counselling system for women facing unintended pregnancies. It provides qualified support to reduce anxiety, strengthen reproductive motivation, and help patients make informed decisions about continuing their pregnancies.

Specialists involved in the programme highlight the medical risks of pregnancy termination. These include endocrine disorders, reproductive complications, and psychological effects such as post-abortion syndrome.

The centre also promotes the use of low-dose combined oral contraceptives (COCs) under medical supervision. These have a strong safety profile and can treat various gynaecological conditions. Health professionals are working to dispel myths about hormonal medications and educate the public on effective contraceptive methods.

The programme takes an interdisciplinary approach. It combines health education, psychological support, and the promotion of modern contraception to prevent unintended pregnancies. The initiative seeks to lower abortion rates by offering comprehensive support and information. Women will receive guidance on safe, medically approved contraceptive options. The centre’s efforts focus on improving reproductive health outcomes through evidence-based strategies.
