Kenya recorded 792,694 induced abortions in 2023, more than 80 per cent among married women.
The latest report released by the Africa Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) on Friday showed that nearly half of the women who presented in health facilities for post abortion complications were women aged between 25 to 34 years.
According to the data from the report, more than three-fourths (78.6 per cent) were married or living with a partner, and about one-third had secondary education (36.7 per cent).
This means that of 3,710 women treated for abortion related complications in Kenyan health facilities in 2023, 2,643 were married.
