In 1971, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act was implemented to deal with unsafe abortions, fetal complications, and maternal mortality. In India, it is estimated that more than half of all abortions are unsafe leading to infection, hemorrhages, injury to internal organs, and sometimes maternal death. To address these issues, the MTP Act was amended in 2021 to promote uniformity, accessibility, availability, affordability, and quality of MTP services with appropriate management in case of any adverse event.
1971 年，实施了《终止妊娠医疗办法》（MTP 法案）以处理不安全堕胎、胎儿并发症和产妇死亡问题。在印度，据估计，超过一半的堕胎都是不安全的，导致感染、出血、内脏器官损伤，有时还会导致产妇死亡。为了解决这些问题，2021 年对 MTP 法案进行了修订，以促进 MTP 服务的统一性、可及性、可用性、可负担性和质量，并在发生任何不良事件时进行适当管理。
