Cel
The general objective is to deploy an African network for research and analysis of human reproduction and maternal health in six West African countries.
The specific objectives are to:
* Assess the magnitude of abortion complications in several maternities of the following six West African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea and Senegal.
* Describe the type of abortion complications and the health consequences in terms of maternal morbidity and mortality.
* Identify specific determinants of women seeking care for abortion complications.
Project methodology
The methodology will include a descriptive (demo-epidemiological) survey with a complementary qualitative (sociological) approach.
Expected Outcome
At the end of this project we expect to know the incidence of first trimester obstetrical complications (abortion, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy), and be able to describe the main causes of abortion complications for women admitted to maternities in different sites in the six African countries. The project will give a better understanding of the reproductive knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of women in several sites (urban and rural) of West and Central Africa. EU-African networking will be further developed and will be made available in the field.
