The wait is over! New decriminalised law takes effect on 7 July 2022: Fifteen months after legislation was passed to decriminalise and modernise abortion care in SA, it finally will take effect on 7 July 2002. The operation of the new law has been held up by prolonged discussions about the regulations that cover delivery of the law.
The key changes that go into effect:
– Many patients can now access abortion care via telehealth
– GPs can prescribe scripts for medical abortion
– Patients no longer need to go to hospital for medical abortion treatment
– In most cases the patient’s informed consent is sufficient to access services and no reason is required.
