The 2018 Health Act permits abortion under the following three grounds:

1) When the physiological, psychological and/or mental balance of the woman is at serious risk. The text is not explicit as to the nature of the loss of balance, but is believed to refer to a woman who was raped and pregnant.

2) When the fetal anomaly implies non-viability.

3) When a woman’s life or health is at risk if the pregnancy continues.

Spousal consent is required.

Misoprostol is not available.
