The tabulated estimates of the frequency of abortions by WHO (1994) showed that there were about 20 million illegal abortions performed each year and the greatest majority of these unsafe abortions occur in developing countries and particularly countries in which abortion law was restricted and illegal. Incidentally these were also the countries that presented a lack of supplies and commodities as well as insufficient trained personnel. In these countries many maternal deaths due to complications of abortions are either not registered or deliberately concealed. [2, 3, 4]
