Over the past 4 years, SECTION27 and TAC have diligently monitored abortion service access in the Eastern Cape.

In 2007, 2009 and 2010 strikes took place in the public health sector which resulted in a serious disruption of health care services. Many users of the public health system were not able to access vital services or collect their medication.
