However it recommends humane post-abortion care

Green = Specific normative guidance pertaining to adolescents is present

Yellow = Normative guidance pertaining to all populations (but not specifically adolescents) is present

Gray = Normative guidance for that recommendation is not present Contains no reference in the Paraguayan normative law and policies
