Any women requesting an abortion will need to go through a consultation / counseling by a certified abortion counselor at a MOH-accredited abortion clinic. Our doctor and senior nurses are accredited abortion counselors.
The consultation will likely require about 10 minutes of your time. During the session, the circumstances of request for abortion, procedure options and contraception will be discussed. This will be conducted in your full privacy.
You may attend the consultation alone, or with your partner or family members of your choice.

After the mandatory counselling there is a mandatory cooling period of at least 48 hours before you can terminate the pregnancy.

You will need to fast for 6 hours – no food and drinks except clear fluids /sips of water for medications. We will provide you with full instructions prior to the procedure. You may come alone or be accompanied by someone on day of procedure

The procedure is conducted in our procedure room at level 2 of our clinic, with complete privacy. There are private recovery rooms after procedure for you to rest before you return home.
The procedure is completely painless as it is performed under sedation. You will be asleep for about 5 minutes for the procedure to be completed. You will then need to rest in the clinic for about 1-2 hours before going home.

You will be discharged from clinic after 1-2 hours. The procedure is usually fast and convenient and the effects are similar to having a period with some period cramps. It is important to visit your doctor again for a review 2 weeks after the abortion to ensure that you have recovered well. Doctor will also discuss contraception options with you.
The procedure is called vacuum aspiration, where a small tube is placed into the womb under sedation (painless procedure) to empty the contents inside the womb.
The procedure is ultrasound-guided and limited to vacuum only without scraping. Ultrasound enhances the completeness and safety of the procedure.
Admission to the hospital will be needed to perform a medically – induced abortion. The process requires more time and may take up to 1-2 days. Medicines are used to induce a “mini delivery” of the fetus. A procedure may also be required to clean the womb of the contents / retained product of conception following expulsion of the fetus.
Abortion is strictly prohibited beyond 24 weeks unless the pregnancy jeopardizes the life of the pregnant woman.

The total estimated fees may start from $1800+, depending on the stage of the pregnancy.
The fee INCLUDES consultation, abortion counseling, ultrasound scan, medications, sedation fees, procedural fees, follow up visit post procedure and review ultrasound scan.
Medisave claims of $900 – 1050 may be used to offset the above fees, depending on the gestation of pregnancy. Marriage certificate will need to be shown if you are using your spouse’s medisave. Birth certificate will need to be shown if you are using your parents’ medisave. Parental consent for medisave use will be required if you are less than 21 years of age at the time of procedure.
Medical abortion is available for pregnancies up to 10 weeks gestation. It involves taking medication to induce the uterus to expel the pregnancy. This option is safe, non-surgical, and appropriate for early pregnancy.

Abortion with pills may be considered in selectgroup of patients. However, medical abortion is typically associated with a longer period of bleeding and increased blood loss. It can also be a painful process. Hence its use is only recommended in select group of patients. Common side effects include bleeding, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, pain and risk of incomplete abortion. The latter may require further surgical procedures to empty the womb content.
Abortion / evacuation of uterus is generally a very safe procedure. The risks of complications are < 1-2% if done under good conditions and by a trained surgeon.

Abortion is generally very safe. Infertility is very rare. Pre-existing STD infections which are not treated may increase the risk in such patients. However judicious use of antibiotics reduces the risk significantly.
Avoidance of sexual intercourse for about 2 weeks after an abortion will also reduce your risk. If you have concerns about STD infection, you may have a thorough screening for such infections before having the procedure performed.
