Overview
  1. "The access to abortionpills is not easy it is on prescription from a gynecologist, doctor and rarely midwives." Reprod'Action Santé ( RAS) - November 2022
  2. "The pills are available in pharmacies, however it is difficult to obtain a prescription for Mifepristone and find it. Misoprostol is easier to get without a prescription from a pharmacy. It is possible to have an abortion with only Misoprostol registered in the majority of West and Central African countries. Abortion Pills are often not available in public hospitals. You can search for the name of a provider to obtain a prescription on a site with a reliable database. Or at best get this prescription online, buy the combipack at the pharmacy and have access to online support during the process. Of course, there are all sorts of scams for clandestine abortions. Especially on facebook or what'sapp." - Anonymous - February 2023
  3. Both Misoprostol and Mifepristone can be obtained from pharmacies as well as certain health centers or clinics. The abortion pills are available only with a prescription, although some pharmacists may sell them without one. However, it is important to note that in such cases, pharmacists typically do not provide sufficient guidance on the appropriate usage and dosage for the medication. - see how to use abortion pill - date unknown
