OBJECTIVES
To assess physician knowledge of the current legal status of abortion in Ghana and determine the proportion physicians in favor of establishing units where safe abortion would be provided, and the proportion of those willing to offer such services.
METHODS
A survey conducted at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Ghana, in August 2003. Using a self-administered questionnaire, 74 randomly selected physicians expressed their views on whether abortion units should be established within national health facilities in Ghana, and what role they would play in them.
RESULTS
Of the 59 physicians (80%) who favored the establishment of safe abortion units within national health facilities, 27 (36%) indicated a willingness to take part in counseling only, 33 (45%) were prepared to carry out abortions, and 14 (19%) said they would play no role in these units.
CONCLUSION
Most physicians participating in this study conducted in Ghana were willing to play some role in the provision of safe abortion services.
目的
评估加纳医生对当前该国堕胎法律状况的了解程度，并确定支持设立提供安全堕胎服务机构的医生比例，以及愿意提供此类服务的医生比例。
方法
2003年8月在加纳的科姆福·阿诺克耶教学医院进行了一项调查。使用自行填写的问卷，74名随机挑选的医生就加纳国家卫生机构是否应设立堕胎科室以及他们在其中将发挥的作用表达了自己的看法。
结果
在59名（80%）支持在国家卫生机构内设立安全堕胎科室的医生中，27名（36%）表示仅愿意参与咨询，33名（45%）准备实施堕胎手术，14名（19%）称他们在这些科室中将不发挥任何作用。
结论
参与在加纳开展的这项研究的大多数医生愿意在提供安全堕胎服务中发挥一定作用。
