Description

In 2024, Malawi recorded over 52,000 abortion cases, twice the number of cases registered in 2021. In Malawi, abortion remains illegal and can only be performed when a mother's life is in danger. To help us break down the situation, Josey Mahachi talks to Judith Nalikungwi, a health practitioner in Blantyre and DW correspondent George Mhango who has covered the story extensively.
