There have been no studies in developing countries assessing the safety of midlevel providers (MLP) compared to physicians in performing first-trimester manual vacuum aspiration abortion. In South Africa and Viet Nam, MLP (midwives and physician assistants) are trained and accredited to perform first trimester abortions to increase women's access to safe abortion services. To assess the safety of abortions performed by midlevel provider compared to physicians, complication rates of first-trimester manual vacuum aspiration are compared between types of providers in the two countries. We test the null hypothesis that the two types of providers provide abortions equally safely.
