Unsafe abortion can be initially identified by the following 4 points:
- Service facility The service facility lacks good hygiene. The general condition is not suitable for a health service facility.
There is no clear registration document displayed at the service facility. - Service provider The service provider falsely claims to be a doctor. There is no clear display of medical professional documents at the service facility.
- Abortion method Method : Using sharp objects to pierce the vagina/uterus, injecting water, saline, or various chemicals into the vagina/uterus, pressing, stepping, or squeezing the lower abdomen Medication use : No inquiry about the gestational age (often claiming that the medication can be used at any gestational age), no inquiry about drug allergies and medical history, the source of the medication seems unreliable, with no reference agency or falsely claiming the name of other agencies
- Gestational age Claims that pregnancy can be terminated at any gestational age without exception
