Abstract
Increasing numbers of unintended pregnancies are occurring due to contraceptive failure.
Unsafe abortion remains one of the top five avoidable patient-related causes of maternal death
in South Africa. There are much higher reported failure rates for short-acting methods of
contraceptives than long-acting methods of contraceptives; the uptake of long-acting methods
of contraception though remains low.
