    Objective: To describe the clinical, therapeutic and outcome aspects of emergency obstetric care at the University Hospital of Parakou in Benin. Patients and methods: This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with prospective data collection. It covered a period of 6 months (14 January to 14 July 2013) and involved 507 patients. Results: The intake frequency of obstetrics emergencies was 31.8%. The mean age of patients was 26.7 ± 6.2 years, ranging from 15 to 45 years. The admission average time was 32 ± 27.8 hours. The mean gravidity was 3.21 ± 2.16 and the mean parity was 2.00 ± 2.13. The major identified emergency obstetrics groups were: dystocia (32.1%), hemorrhagic emergencies (21.7%), hypertensive emergencies (16.4%), fetal hypoxia (15.2%), the infectious emergencies (12.4%) and anemia on pregnancy (2.2%). The average hospital stay was 4.0 ± 3.4 days with a range of 1 to 23 days. Maternal mortality was 0.4%. Fetal mortality was 9.2% and was related to the occurrence of antepartum hemorrhage (p = 0.001), poor monitoring of antenatal care (p = 0.001) in obstructed labor (p = 0.001), and the presence meconium in the amniotic fluid (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Obstetrics emergencies are common in the maternity of the University Hospital of Parakou. Reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with obstetric emergencies happen by improving the quality of care for the education of patients to consult early to improving the technical platform and the introduction of insurance universal health

Objective: To study the support of healthcare personnel for the legalization of abortion in Benin. Study method: This was a cross-sectional study with a descriptive aim and prospective data collection. The study took place from January 1 to March 30, 2022. All qualified healthcare personnel working in Beninese territory were the target of the study. Results: A total of 4080 healthcare workers were surveyed. They were mainly midwives (35.5%), from the public sector (46.7%) with professional experience of less than 10 years (82.3%) and were registered with a professional order (78.7%). %). More than half of the healthcare personnel surveyed (57.3%) did not adhere to the law on voluntary termination of pregnancy. They found no need to legalize abortion in Benin (60.2%). Less than one agent in six said they were ready to perform the abortion (14.9%). On the other hand, 21.7% categorically refused to carry it out. For the rest (54.3%), they will not carry out the abortion if the reasons given by the pregnant woman were not valid for terminating a pregnancy. The agents ready to perform the abortion do not all agree to be respondents regarding abortion in their place of practice (89.4%). They mentioned religion (91.1%), and conscience (83.2%) as obstacles. Conclusion: An enormous amount of work remains to be done among health personnel to make abortion effective in Benin
