The Mozambican government has received $5.2 million from Sweden for a programme aimed at accessing safe abortion, VOA Radio reported.

According to the report, the programme aims at furnishing women with information about abortion, its access, precautions to take and means of contraception.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines an unsafe abortion as the termination of an unwanted pregnancy either by "persons lacking the necessary skills or an environment lacking minimal medical standards, or both".
