At the request of the International Planned Parenthood Federation/South East Asia regional office, Gynuity organized a workshop with a small group of physicians from the North Korean member association and Ministry of Health officials to help prepare North Korea for introduction of medical abortion into abortion services. The meeting took place at the Vietnam Family Planning Association in Hanoi. In addition to offering materials for translation into Korean, Gynuity also developed data collection tools and a database to help document and evaluate the use of the method in the introductory phase.
