Studies have shown that satisfied patients are more likely to comply with treatment, take an active role in their care, and continue utilizing medical services. Moreover, they are inclined to recommend the services they received to others, highlighting the ripple effect of satisfaction.
Reproductive health care is an area where the quality of services profoundly impacts client's experiences. Clients expect a range of factors, such as having choices, receiving accurate information, and interacting positively with healthcare providers.
These elements, coupled with technical competence and continuity of care, contribute to overall satisfaction. Additionally, the respectful treatment, patience, concern, and attentiveness of healthcare providers play a crucial role in shaping patient's perceptions of care.
Conversely, dissatisfaction with medical services can lead to non-adherence to
treatment advice, missed follow-up visits, and ultimately, compromised health. This isparticularly concerning in the context of maternal health, where unsafe abortions and maternal mortality rates are significant issues.
The World Health Organization estimates that almost 20 million unsafe abortions occur worldwide each year, with a substantial number in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, unsafe abortion is a major contributor to maternal mortality, accounting for up to 25-35% of maternal deaths. To address these challenges, comprehensive post-abortion care is crucial. It not only treats complications but also reduces the incidence of repeat unplanned pregnancies and abortions. Access to quality, legalized, safe abortion services, along with family planning services, sexual education, and treatment for abortion complications, is essential in preventing maternal mortality and morbidity.

health globally.
