"My wish is for women who are caught in an unplanned situation that they have no desire to be in, to be safely given a second chance along the long road of life without any complications."
This depends on the specific clinic or hospital, gestational age, and type of abortion. At our clinic, an abortion surgery starts from $1,750 while medical abortion (abortion pills) starts at $1000. Please call us at 6459 2833 for more details.
In general, Singaporeans, permanent residents (PR), and foreigners who have lived in Singapore for more than four months are eligible for abortion. Individuals under the age of 16 are required to attend pre-abortion counselling at the Health Promotion Board (HPB).
Abortion procedures are confidential by law, and medical professionals are not allowed to disclose patients' information without their consent.
The procedure is performed under anaesthesia so it is painless as the patient will be asleep. During recovery, some discomfort or cramping may be experienced but pain medication will be provided.
Medical abortion (abortion pill) is only given to women who are less than 7 weeks pregnant. The bleeding and cramping are heavy, and patients will need to return to the clinic for follow-up visits to make sure there are no complications. Hence it is not necessarily easier.
No, surgical abortions performed by a licensed medical professional are generally safe, predictable and unlikely to harm the patient's health and fertility in the long run.
