VietNamNet Bridge – The number of unsafe abortion cases is on
the rise in HCM City. Initial statistics by the local population & family
planning bureau shows the abortion cases is equivalent to four fifths of
new-born babies.
Lack of sexual knowledge, having
sex before marriage, self-indulgence lifestyle, being raped are the most
important factors leading to be unintentionally pregnant, experts analyzed.
Instead of having babies and
taking care of them carefully, many people decided to have abortions. This fact
has become more popular in HCM City in recent years.
Ms. To Thi Kim Hoa, head of the
HCM City Population & Family Planning Bureau, told correspondents on August
22 that the number of abortion cases in the city is nearly equivalent to four
fifths of the number of new-born babies.
This rate is three times higher
than the country’s average. Notably, couples are not interested in pre-marriage
health check-ups, Hoa said.
She said that HCM City would have
to improve supply of information on productive health and sex and healthcare
services to the community, particularly the youth.
