ABORTION – A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND A DETERMINANT OF BIOLOGICAL REPRODUCTION

Summary/Abstract: Artificial abortion is a very important social-medical, economic and demographic problem. It is not only a problem of public health (disease, disability, sterility) and social economy (to lose income and compensation because of absenteeism, increase of expense in health care sector for the treatment of direct, early and late consequences and sterility). It is a very important demographic problem because of the increase in „unrealized fertilities” and lost of descendents. According to the registered abortions in 2004, an enormous number of abortions was done in Timočka Krajina in relation to the number of live-births (1241:1931); more precisely, for 150 live-births, there were 100 arteficial abortion. The greatest number of abortions was done in 30–34 year old women, most in Zaječar municipality, with 1/3 of the total number of artificial abortions. All the women who aborted in 2004 had already had – on the average – 2,55 abortions and 1,6 live-births before. In the conclusion, the central problem is the prevention and protection of unwanted pregnancy, and unsatisfactory activities in in the field of women health protection, reproductive health and family planning.
