Learning to deliver comprehensive abortion care
Published on April 28, 2026.
A new four-part learning programme by the UNDP/UNFPA/UNICEF/WHO/World Bank, known as a WHO Academy course, aims to support health workers providing abortion care safely, respectfully and with quality. The program includes four courses: medical abortion, surgical abortion, post‑abortion care, and human rights integration in comprehensive abortion care. Each course addresses a distinct element of care, including assessing gestational age and eligibility, choosing appropriate care pathways, and recognizing when follow-up or referral is needed. The courses are interactive, with learning broken into modules and short knowledge checks. They reinforce standards from the WHO Abortion Care Guideline that apply across methods and services.
