Role of nurse-midwives in providing safe abortion services: a practical guide (in hindi) (Surakshit garbhsamapan sevaon mein nurse prasavika ki bhumika: Vyavharik margdarshika)
Taking into consideration our experience of providing safe abortion services in an interior rural area of southern Rajasthan, we have adapted international and national guidelines to develop a manual for nurse-midwives helping doctors to provide safe abortion services. The manual can be used by ANMs and GNMs working in facilities like PHCs, CHCs, district hospitals and private hospitals. The manual includes sections on counseling the woman, preparing instruments and assisting the doctor during the procedure, maintaining proper records, conducting post-procedure follow-up/ post-abortion contraception, being alert to signs of possible violence being faced by the woman etc.
