Overview
  1. "Misoprostol is available at pharmacies and hospitals with a doctor's prescription. Access is easy with a prescription. It is important to note that illegal abortion providers mainly use Misoprostol. People seeking safe abortion care can do so at a public or private hospital, at Marie Stopes South Africa or at at registered medical practitioner. Hospitals, if not providing the service themselves, should refer clients to a centre that does.
    Unfortunately, South Africa is riddled with a large number of illegal abortion providers, giving abortion services that risk the health and safety of so many women who seek safe abortion care. Posters on street lamps, websites over run with stock images, spelling errors, etc are to be approached with extreme caution. These "services" are often marketed as "cheap" and "pain-free." No pre-abortion counseling takes place, and clients are given doses of medication that can be unsafe. An abortion provider must be registered, and like any other medical provider, they must have safe, clean facilities that comply with the Health Infrastructure Norms and Standards set out by the Department of Health." - Marie Stopes South Africa, November 2022
  2. Abortion is free at some government hospitals and clinics. To find an abortion clinic nearby, you can send a private message to the Abortion Support South Africa Facebook Group -Anonymous, February 2023
