Abortion in South Africa is legally regulated by the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1996. The law allows a woman to request a termination of pregnancy up to 12 weeks without having to provide a reason, provided it is performed by an authorised healthcare provider.

Between 13 and 20 weeks, termination is permitted under specific circumstances, including risks to the woman’s health, rape or incest, serious fetal abnormalities, or significant social or economic circumstances. The law also protects the patient’s privacy, confidentiality and informed consent, making access to safe, regulated healthcare an important part of reproductive healthcare.

Empower your health and secure your peace of mind by choosing a certified, private clinic that puts your safe and confidential care first.
