Initial management of non-life-threatening post-abortion haemorrhage. Health worker. Doctors of complementary systems of medicine: Recommended in specific circumstances
Notes and Remarks
- 1.We recommend this option only in contexts with established health system mechanisms for the participation of doctors of complementary systems of medicine in other tasks related to maternal and reproductive health
- 2.More specific recommendations for comprehensive management were not made due to lack of clinical guidelines on the management of complications from unsafe abortion.
