Unethical practices bordering on criminal medical oddity goes on underground in Nigeria as local healthcare providers work with American NGO to help women ‘reverse’ an abortion already in progress. According to the Heartbeat International and its Nigerian medical foot soldiers, a pregnant woman can reverse the course of an abortion with high intake of progesterone. This is technically referred to as medical abortion and it must be strictly done under the supervision of a competent physician. Heartbeat International connects pregnant women willing to reverse ongoing abortions to local health workers who serve as abortion reversal providers by prescribing and administering progesterone injectionson them. Physicians who spoke with PUNCH HealthWise say there is no evidence to support Delgado’s claim that progesteronecan reverse abortion that is already in motion.
