How to recognise illegal abortion service providers

It is critical that you DO NOT go to any providers that:

• Supply abortions services outside the constraints of the law (after 20 weeks pregnancy), outside of public hospitals or other designated centres 
• Operate in unsafe areas, do not have a clinic (physical building) 
• Just have a mobile number and offer to meet you on a street corner 
• Cannot give you their Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) registration number 
• Use dangerous methods such as injecting poisonous liquids into the womb; inserting objects intended to dislodge the foetus or issuing tablets that are not prescribed by a doctor or registered nurse
• Administer medical abortion (a process using tablets) after the 9th week of pregnancy 
• Do not perform physical examinations, take a medical history or provide a test/scan to confirm the stage of the pregnancy 
• Do not follow basic infection prevention, such as wearing latex gloves, having running water and clean linen and having separate bins for medical waste disposal; 
• Do not provide all your unplanned pregnancy options and offer counselling 
• Do not offer follow up appointments and contact information in case of problems or questions 
• Sell you medical abortion tablets over the Internet without the required clinical precautions
