Health care providers' knowledge and associated factors towards the components of post abortion care service in hospitals of Tigray, Northern Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: In Ethiopia, a significant proportion of women face barriers to accessing family planning services, with nearly 48% not receiving family planning counseling and approximately 35.2% receiving no counseling at all. This gap in provider knowledge contributes to a high rate of repeat abortions, which stands at 33.6%, underscoring the urgent need for effective post-abortion care. The main factor behind this issue is the knowledge gap among healthcare providers, which affects their ability to offer comprehensive family planning service. Addressing this gap is essential for improving reproductive health outcomes and reducing the incidence of abortion complication in the country. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess knowledge of healthcare providers regarding post-abortion care components
