The Guttmacher Institute’s work in Asia has focused primarily on estimating the incidence of abortion and unintended pregnancy, documenting the health consequences of unsafe abortion, assessing the reach and quality of postabortion care, and exploring ways misoprostol is obtained online. In addition, the Institute provides estimates (regional, subregional and country-specific) of the needs among women in low- and middle-income Asian countries for modern contraception, maternal and newborn care, and abortion-related services. This work also estimates the costs and impacts of meeting these needs, providing policymakers across the region with evidence that investment in improving and increasing the provision of sexual and reproductive health services saves lives, improves women’s health and well-being, and has broad societal benefits. You can use the location menu on this page to explore country-specific information.
