Jacqueline Pitanguy was interviewed on April 13 by The National Public Radio (NPR), the US national radio station, about the drug misoprostol, also known as Cytotec, used for safe abortion. She highlighted the importance of misoprostol in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity and the absurd position of Brazil, which has one of the most restrictive legislation in the world for its use.
During the 1st Latin American Forum on Legal Abortion Services, a petition was written to pressure Anvisa to remove restrictions on the use and commercialization of misoprostol in Brazil. See the petition here.
