Ms Linda Latham:

It happened extensively when we saw persons attending from the African countries. This year, for the first time, our African cohort has reduced significantly. Previously we saw a lot of this happening. There were certain antibiotics that could be bought over the Internet and many women told us they had taken them. Sometimes, the termination by that method was inadequate and we had to refer women to the maternity hospitals for completion of the termination. Therefore, its extent was significant enough to make an impact on us. I suspect we do not even get to hear about half of it. However, it was more frequent among the African community than we have witnessed here before.
