Canada lags in providing access to the internationally recognized gold standard for medical abortion - abortion induced with drugs rather than through surgical means, states a commentary in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal).Many countries use mifepristone, combined with misoprostol, which provides a safe, effective nonsurgical method for early abortion. Canada, however, has not approved the drug and instead uses a drug regimen not recommended by the World Health Organization.
