Colombia: Development of a proposal within Bogota’s Secretariat of Health to demand that death certificates be issued for aborted fetuses. In the face of this initiative, La Mesa por la Vida y la Salud de Las Mujeres contacted key stakeholders to block the proposal. In a way, this was achieved in Resolution 436 of 2011, which does not require death certificates for such cases.
