There are specialist abortion clinics in most capital cities. These are either public hospital clinics or privately run centres. Some of these offer counselling services, and general information about women’s health and contraception. Because they deal daily with abortion, they are often well equipped to help with the special needs of women in this situation. Most aim to meet the physical and the emotional needs of their clients with respect and dignity. Many women have reported back to me that the experience of going to an abortion clinic was not nearly as frightening as they had imagined. In fact several remarked that the positive way in which they were treated made the entire experience much easier to cope with.
Many private gynaecologists also perform abortions. A woman can obtain a referral from a general practitioner just as she would for any other surgical procedure. The gynaecologist sees the woman for a consultation, and makes arrangements for her to be admitted to a hospital where the gynaecologist will perform the abortion.
