Abortion in Ghana
Information about abortion access and services in Ghana.
Is abortion legal in Ghana?
Ghana’s abortion law permits the procedure under specific conditions, including risk to the physical or mental health of the pregnant person, rape, incest, or fetal abnormalities.Studies indicate that many healthcare workers lack complete knowledge of the legal indications for abortion. In practice, despite the legal provisions, access to safe abortion services is constrained by social stigma, provider refusal, and inconsistent implementation of the law. Many women resort to unsafe methods due to fear, misinformation, or lack of available trained providers, especially in rural or underserved areas [3].
