Demand for self-managed abortions increased as more states restrict women’s access to care.

Pills are mailed to patients’ homes and are about 95% effective ending pregnancies before 11 weeks' gestation, which accounts for the majority of abortions nationwide. Self-administered abortions are even legal under Texas’ extremely restrictive anti-abortion law, with hits on AidAccess’ website increasing to about 30,000 (from the average of 2,000) after the Texas law took effect.

Miraclefeet is a U.S. based nonprofit that provides free clubfoot treatment in 29 countries, including 15 in Africa.

After 5-8 weeks, children wear braces for 23 hours every day for the first three months, then only while sleeping for 3-5 years, in order to maintain the correction.
