The patients were then assessed based on demographic factors like age, literacy, socioeconomic scale and occupation. They were asked about their personal experience and their awareness about legal status of abortion in India, eligible provider and site. Results: Among 9359 women enrolled, 6084 (65%) were in the age group of 20-30 years and majority 3002(32.1%) belonged to lower middle class; 5616 (60%) were illiterate. Only 2340(25%) knew about the legalities of abortion and 1498(16%) about eligible provider. In 4264(67%) cases, MTP were self prescribed, out of which and 764(12%) developed major life threatening complication and saved and 40% chronic morbidity.4475 (70%) not adopted any post abortal contraceptive method. Conclusion:The current study found that almost 75% of the women were unaware of legal status of abortion in India and 67% women have self prescribed MTP. Post abortal contraception counselling and adoption need attention as only 30% adopted any regular method. There is free availability of MTP KIT at counter. Hence, the urgent need of the hour is to reduce unintended pregnancies, by promoting PPIUCD, creating more awareness about availability of safe and legal abortion practices in India among public and health workers with emphasis for post abortion contraceptive counselling.

Aim and Objectives: The present study was done to study correlation of chest x-ray findings and clinical parameters with outcome in COVID-19 pregnant subjects.

The most common symptoms at presentation was Sore throat (87.3%) followed by Cough (76.2%) and Fever (58.7. The chest X-ray showed that pneumonitis was seen among 38.1% patients with 23.8% having bilateral pneumonitis, 6.3% having left sided pneumonitis and 7.9% having right sided pneumonitis.
