Abstract:

The provision of abortion in pregnancies resultingrape is limited in Brazil, restricted to few establishments and concentrated in large urban centers. In this context, we aimed to estimate the potential for expanding the provision of abortion in rape-related pregnancies considering the installed capacity in Brazilian municipalities. Based on datathe National Registry of Health Establishments, in June 2021, three different scenarios of provision were presented and was calculated the percentage of female population of childbearing-age (between 10 and 49 years old) residing in the municipalities of each scenario by region. In the first scenario, municipalities with an installed supply were included, in the second those with potential to supply the service considering the current regulations, and in the third those with potential to supply the service considering only the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Brazilian Penal Code. The scenarios were composed, respectively, by 55, 662 and 3,741 municipalities, and are residence of 26.7%, 62.1% and 94.3% of the female population between 10 and 49 years old in the country. There was an installed capacity to expand the provision of abortion in rape-related pregnancy in all regions, both considering current regulations and international recommendations.
