Netherlands: Organisatons and clinics

In the Netherlands, abortion is legal for up to 24 weeks.

If you live and are registered in the Netherlands, you are entitled to free treatment. You must then be able to show a citizen service number (BSN) and a Dutch health insurance card, or your registration certificate from your municipality (BPR).

if you officially live in another country, the clinics will ask you to pay (400 to 1200 euros, depending on the term and type of treatment). The Women on Waves clinic in Amsterdam asks for a donation of 90 euros or less if you cannot afford it.

If you are less than 6 and a half weeks pregnant, you can receive immediate overtime treatment. The abortion pills are available in a pharmacy on a prescription from a doctor. Ask your doctor if he can help you. Not all GPs want this. If you are more than 6 and a half weeks pregnant, you should wait 5 days between seeing a doctor and having the abortion. In that case, most clinics or hospitals ask for a referral from a doctor.
