1. “Mifepristone and Misoprostol are not easy to access. The drug is only sold in pharmacies/ drug stores with a valid prescription from recognized health institutions. Partnership with some selected health centers, clinics and NGOs that offer SRHR information and services can be trained involved in the distribution of the drug. Young people need to seek information and services from professionals that can assist them rightly to avoid complications that may arise from patronizing fake abortion stores and herbal homes.” International Centre for Sexual Reproductive Rights (INCRESE), November 2022
