Providing contraceptive technology updates, counseling workshops and in-service training in PAC can:

• Increase the number of PAC patients who report that they received important information on their care and family planning options;

• Increase the number of PAC patients who leave with a family planning method regardless of whether MVA or sharp curettage is used; and

• Improve the quality of care. 
  

Training increases physician satisfaction with MVA. 

Training midwives to counsel PAC patients on family planning, STIs/HIV and nutrition (in addition to midwives undertaking other aspects of PAC, including emergency treatment using MVA) can increase counseling on these topics.
