Gynuity Health Projects

Gynuity in Vietnam

Gynuity staff has been working with local partners in Vietnam for several years on a range of reproductive and maternal health initiatives. One of our primary areas of work is focused on medical abortion technology. Our efforts in this area aim to: improve first trimester regimens; expand services to private clinics; and understand provider knowledge, attitudes and practices related to medical abortion.

A new multi-country project is planned to study mifepristone as a pretreatment to misoprostol induction abortion for second trimester gestations, comparing it to misoprostol alone. The study will also be conducted in Moldova, Puerto Rico, Tunisia, and Turkey.

Gynuity Activities

In addition to our profile of work on medical abortion technology, Gynuity together with local collaborating institutions have undertaken the following activities:

  • Studies to explore innovations for the use of misoprostol to treat incomplete abortion.
  • A multi-country clinical trial to evaluate misoprostol for the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage; this study is also being conducted in Burkina Faso, Ecuador, Egypt and Turkey.
  • A multi-country study in collaboration with the World Health Organization to evaluate misoprostol as an adjunct treatment for postpartum hemorrhage along with oxytocin. The project is also being implemented in Argentina, Egypt, South Africa, and Thailand.
