Research
At Health Trust Pharma, we take pride in our rigorous scientific research, user-driven innovation, and evidence-based protocols around abortion care, closely aligning our services with the World Health Organization's guidelines.
World Health Organization's guidelines
Our commitment to evidence-driven, compassionate abortion care is reflected both in our own ground-breaking research and our collaborations with universities, individuals, and collectives worldwide. These efforts strengthen the foundation for evidence-based advocacy and policymaking on abortion care in many parts of the world.
Research is at the heart of everything we do. It informs our outreach, services, and advocacy. We share our data with local groups to support their efforts to expand abortion access and influence decision-makers.
Our pioneering research on telemedicine and self-managed abortion care has consistently demonstrated the safety, efficacy, and acceptability of these models of care. Finally, our studies on online abortion trajectories in restrictive environments have been instrumental in informing legal reforms, and regulatory changes and expanding access where it's needed most.
