Abortion clinics generally manage women in groups, with nurse counsellors processing
patients before the operating doctor arrives to do the list of procedures. This
low cost practice provides impersonal treatment, and leads to waiting rooms full
of pregnant emotional women with their empathic families, resulting in “a bad experience”
which contributes to the stigma that society is looking to place on abortion.
We manage pregnancy termination like any other surgical procedure. This is achieved by providing individualised and personal treatment, in an environment designed to make you feel that you have not come to an abortion clinic. We have a non-judgmental attitude, and follow strict management protocols. Our professional standards are provided by a specialist gynaecologist.
