The aim of the study was to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, risk factors, treatment, morbidity and mortality associated with ectopic pregnancy.                                                                  Methods: In Governmepregnancy was 0.54%. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 21–25years(28.26%).
