* Low and high estimates are based on 95% confidence intervals of the medium estimate

† Medium estimates of abortions were derived from the HPS as described in the methods section.

‡ The abortion rate is the number of abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–49

§ The abortion ratio is the number of abortions per 100 live births

^a The large confidence intervals for Kampala reflects the high proportion of PAC reported by hospitals in this region
