Where is abortion care provided?
Abortion services are provided at approved health facilities, including government hospitals, private clinics, and NGO-run centres. These facilities are authorised to offer abortion care safely and legally.
Who provides abortion care?
Abortion care is provided by trained medical professionals who meet the qualifications set out under the law. Providers are responsible for ensuring safe care, informed consent, confidentiality, and appropriate follow-up.
What does a safe abortion service look like?
A safe abortion service should:
- Provided by a trained medical professional
- Take place in a clean, approved facility
- Confirm how many weeks pregnant you are before providing care
- Clearly explain your options, possible risks, and what to expect
- Ask for your informed consent
- Provide pain relief and medical guidance
- Respect your privacy, confidentiality, and dignity
- Offer respectful, non-judgmental care
- Provide follow-up support, if needed
You should never feel rushed, judged, or threatened when seeking care.
Forms and paperwork
Abortion services involve some basic paperwork. This is meant to protect your rights, safety, and confidentiality.
You may be asked to complete:
- A consent form confirming that the decision is voluntary
- A medical history form to help the provider assess your health
Your personal details must be kept confidential and cannot be shared without your permission, except where disclosure is required by law (for example, mandatory reporting in cases involving minors).
Questions you can ask a provider
Asking questions helps you make an informed decision. A provider should be willing to answer clearly and respectfully.
You may want to ask:
- What abortion options are available for my stage of pregnancy?
- What should I expect during and after the abortion?
- Are there any risks or side effects I should know about?
- What warning signs should I watch for?
- How long will recovery take?
- Will I need a follow-up visit or check-up?
- Who can I contact if I have questions later?
- How will my information be kept confidential?
A safe provider will answer your questions without judgment and give you the time you need to decide what feels right for you.
