| Abstract (English): |
This article analyzes effective access and universal health coverage for legal abortion services in the 12 South American countries belonging to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and World Health Organization (WHO). Using an ideographic case study approach based on the Global Abortion Policies Database (GAPD), it reviews legal frameworks, health policies, and service provision related to abortion in these countries. While 11 countries have legalized or decriminalized abortion, access and coverage vary significantly due to factors such as conscientious objection by providers, legal restrictions, and socioeconomic barriers. The study highlights ongoing challenges in operationalizing universal health coverage for abortion despite legal advances, emphasizing the need for multisectoral policies to address social determinants of health and improve equitable access to safe abortion services in South America.
