Pregnancy termination: results of a community-based study in Lagos, Nigeria.

A A Olukoya.   

Abstract

A community survey in the Shomolu area of Lagos Nigeria showed the incidence of induced abortion to be 5.6%. Most of the abortions were carried out under medical supervision, using a combination of methods. Reasons for the abortions suggest that many were carried out on pregnancies that could have been prevented.
