Summary The new Choice of Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1996 was passed in November 1996 and has been implemented through the health services as from the 1st February 1997. In the light of the changed abortion legistlation, it is important to examine the impact that such legislaton would have upon the health services. Since the effects of formerly illegal and unsafe abortions are now preventable under the new law, strategies to ensure a woman's access to safe abortion would reduce the cost of treating complicated abortions.
