In developing countries with restrictive abortion laws and where NGOs relied on US family planning aid, PAC offered an apolitical approach to addressing the consequences of unsafe abortion. In Dying to Count, Siri Suh traces how national and global population politics collide in Senegal as health workers, health officials, and NGO workers strive to demonstrate PAC?s effectiveness in the absence of rigorous statistical evidence that the intervention reduces maternal mortality. Suh argues that pragmatically assembled PAC data convey commitments to maternal mortality reduction goals while obscuring the frequency of unsafe abortion and the inadequate care women with complications are likely to receive if they manage to reach a hospital. At a moment when African women face the highest risk worldwide of death from complications related to pregnancy, birth, or abortion, Suh?s ethnography of PAC in Senegal makes a critical contribution to studies of global health, population and development, African studies, and reproductive justice. 410 0$aMedical anthropology (New Brunswick, N.J.) 606 $aAbortion services$zSenegal 606 $aMaternal health services$zSenegal 606 $aMedical policy$zSenegal 606 $aReproductive health$zSenegal 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General$2bisacsh 610 $aglobal health, medical sociology, abortion, post-abortion, PAC, family planning, Women's health, health, pregnancy, birth, African studies, population, development, maternal mortality, unsafe abortions, reproductive justice, abortion surveillance, induced abortions, Senegal, post-abortion care, reproductive health, health politics. 615 0$aAbortion services 615 0$aMaternal health services 615 0$aMedical policy 615 0$aReproductive health 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / General. 676 $a362.19888009663 700 $aSuh$b Siri$01730041 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838222003321 996 $aDying to count$94140421 997 $aUNINA
