Misoprostol for PAC in Mexico City

As part of Gynuity’s ongoing work to introduce and expand misoprostol for treatment of incomplete abortion as a first-line treatment in the Mexico City Secretariat of Health (SSDF) hospital system, we conducted a series of meetings on May 20-21 with hospital directors and relevant department chiefs to evaluate progress with misoprostol introduction for this indication. Participants discussed successes and challenges during the five-year period since its introduction and developed action plans with the goal of reducing hospitalization for non-complicated abortion and increasing ambulatory treatment in the emergency room setting.
