A direct-to-patient telemedicine abortion service in Australia: Retrospective analysis of the first 18 months.
In 2015, the Tabbot Foundation launched a nationwide direct-to-patient telemedicine service to enable women to obtain medical abortion without visiting an abortion provider. ⋯ The direct-to-patient telemedicine medical abortion service was effective, safe, inexpensive and satisfactory. It disproportionately served women in parts of Australia with limited access to abortion facilities. This experience may be instructive for others desiring to use telemedicine to enhance access to abortion.
