You read it in the annual report on the implementation of Law 194/78, submitted by the Minister of Health to Parliament. It also shows that 76% of those who resort to abortion pill requires the voluntary resignation after administration of the drug, despite the requirement of the three days of hospitalization.

General anesthesia” is the women who prefer it “- Therefore, despite the guidelines of the WHO and the ISS,” very often it is the women to ask, because they prefer not to hear anything. Anyway, general anesthesia is being done today takes a few minutes and is less invasive than the one that was years ago, “explains Joan Scasselati, head of the Centre Voluntary Termination Pregnancy San Camillo Hospital in Rome.

Ru 486, must be required to stay in hospital? – The report shows that “among women who demand the dismissal before the three days required by signing an assumption of responsibility, in 97% of cases there is no complication.” For this it is necessary to check with the Ministry of Health, to understand whether it is really necessary to stay in hospital. Silvio Viale, in charge of 194 Sant’Anna Hospital in Turin and promoter of the introduction of RU486 in Italy: “It ‘hypocrisy, a rule unnecessary and vexatious. There is no medical reason to keep the woman in the hospital, then the circular provides that is not going to be considered. ” “In all countries in the world is registered as an outpatient or home care. Nobody throws away money in time of crisis and cutting beds,” he says. The prescription of a hospital, in addition, could result in a disincentive to the use of medical abortion with mifepristone and prostaglandin-based, which does not present the risk of aspiration. Use that instead seems to have a positive impact. The report, in fact, points to the increasing number of outages within 8 weeks of gestation, linking the increase in the spread of the pill RU486, which between 2010 and 2011 has doubled from 3.3% of total voluntary terminations to 7.3%.
