Gynuity Meeting — New Science, New Solutions: The Future of Medication Abortion

On October 16, 2024, Gynuity Health Projects hosted an in-person meeting in New York to showcase the latest in medication abortion services, research, products, and policies.

Returning after a three-year hiatus, the hotly-anticipated meeting opened with a round-robin of key updates from many of the 70+ delegates representing in the region of 40 domestic and global agencies and was followed by concurrent breakout meetings on five trending themes: integrating self-managed abortion into the abortion care ecosystem; digital strategies to support medication abortion; pathways to increasing abortion medication access; abortion needs in humanitarian, migration and conflict settings; and, patient-centered medication abortion. The second part of the program featured panel presentations delivered by expert speakers on the latest innovations in telemedicine provision for medication abortion, new regimens to ensure non-pregnancy, and legal issues affecting abortion access in the U.S. and Latin America.

We extend gratitude to our friends and colleagues – physicians, researchers, health advocates, policymakers, donors, and pharmaceutical representatives – for their high levels of engagement and cutting-edge insights throughout the day and thank them for making the event a resounding success.
