Postabortion care (PAC) is a package of lifesaving interventions that combines maternal healthcare (emergency treatment for complications of induced or spontaneous abortion) and family planning (voluntary counseling and service delivery) before a PAC client is discharged from the facility.

This revised curriculum for service providers builds on an earlier version published in 2010. It incorporates updates, including from key resources, as well as evidence from decades of PAC programming and implementation research around the world. This revision also reflects learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the need for increased attention to infection prevention and control for healthcare workers and those seeking care, as well as the importance of providing integrated services to clients who do reach health facilities for care.
