Background: Emergency Contraceptives (ECs) used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse can forestall up to over 95% of pregnancies when taken inside within 5 days after intercourse. In India, about 0.18% women die every year due to abortion-related complications. Knowledge about emergency contraceptives is still relatively unknown to common man and even to medical professionals. This study therefore aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of medical students about the emergency contraception.
