Despite its initial success as a pilot program, the policy's implementation and expansion were not prioritized. The incidence of unsafe abortion has increased over the years and, in 2009, the right to postabortion care was codified in national law, yet the mistreatment and abuse of women has continued in violation of medical ethics and the law. In 2016, following the demands of advocates and recommendations from national and international human rights bodies, the government introduced a new policy to strengthen the national framework for postabortion care, clarifying the legal and ethical duties of health service providers and offering women formal avenues for redress against abuse. The new policy offers useful guidance for countries that are contemplating new ways to strengthen the quality of postabortion care services in accordance with recognized standards of medical ethics and human rights.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijgo.12452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,29]],"date-time":"2018-01-29T19:25:29Z","timestamp":1517253929000},"page":"268-275","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Philippines\u2019 new postabortion care policy"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"141","author":[{"given":"Melissa","family":"Upreti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Women's Global Leadership Rutgers University  New\u00a0Brunswick NJ USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jihan","family":"Jacob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Reproductive Rights  New York NY USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","unstructured":"Alan Guttmacher Institute.Unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion in the Philippines.
