Resumen : Since the early 1990s, three major public sector institutions in Mexico have been dealing with abortion-related complications ; the fourth most frequent cause of maternal mortality in the country. Despite relatively conservative abortion legislation, Mexico has the broadest experience in scaling-up post-abortion care. All three institutions have developed long-term strategies that over time have made improvements at all levels of the health system. To date, more than 30,000 providers in nearly 60% of Mexico's public hospitals have been trained in manual vacuum aspiration for treating incomplete abortions, and post-abortion contraceptive services, monitoring and information systems have also been improved.
