摘要：
Emergency contraception (EC) is safe and has the potential to prevent unwanted pregnancies. However, use remains low in most settings, due to a range of barriers to access. This paper reviews key issues related to EC and describes recommendations reached during the Women's Health Alliance pre-Congress workshop, held in advance of the FIGO 2006 World Congress. The working group concluded that national societies of obstetrics and gynecology can play an important rote in increasing access to this unique contraceptive method.
