Introduction
Today in Turkey abortion is legal. The Law on Population Planning No.
2827 introduced in 1983 ended the legal prohibition on abortion that
had been in place since the founding of the Republic.3 The law provides
for abortion without restriction as to reason through ten weeks of
pregnancy. If a woman is married spousal consent is required as is
parental consent for those under age 18. If a pregnancy threatens a
woman’s life or there is substantial fetal abnormality, abortion is
permissible and the law states no gestational time limit. However, in such
a case, the doctor must notify health authorities of the women’s identity,
the procedure to be performed and the rationale before the procedure
is performed, if possible, and in an emergency within notification must
take place within twenty-four hours. For pregnancies that are the result
of a crime, the Turkish criminal code allows for abortions through twenty
weeks. Abortion care at state hospitals is covered by the state health
insurance.
Since legalization, several generations of women have availed
themselves of the right to legal abortion services in Turkey.
Approximately 14% of Turkish women report having had at least one
abortion in their lifetime.4 Yet, there have been a number of reports in
recent years which have called into question the current availability of
abortion services in Turkey, particularly in state hospitals.5 This study

attempted to systematically answer the question of whether or not
abortions are available in state hospitals in Turkey and under what
conditions.
Methodology
We employed a mystery client telephone survey where we
contacted 431 state hospitals in Turkey. Working with a list available from
the Ministry of Health dated October 2015 and updated in January 2016,
we created a list of hospitals for contact. At the time of the study there
were 712 total state hospitals in Turkey. Specialist hospitals were
removed (n=67) and then the sample was further refined to eliminate
hospitals that did not have a department of obstetrics and gynecology,
which is required for the provision of abortion services. The final sample
consisted of 431 hospitals. Of the 431 hospitals which constituted the
sample, 428 were contacted. A further 6 hospitals (1.4%) refused to
provide information regarding abortion services over the phone
demanding instead that someone appear in person to receive
information.
Working with a prepared script, hospitals were contacted between
October 2015 and April 2015. The telephone survey used a mystery
client that asked to be directed to the department of obstetrics and
gynecology. At that point, we the following questions: 1. “Are abortion
services provided at the hospital?”; 2. “Is the procedure available
without restriction to reason?”; 3. “Is it available in the case of a medical
necessity?”; 4. If the answer to the previous were no in each case we
asked for confirmation of the state “so, abortion services are not
available under any circumstances”. To ensure standardization, the
Kürtaj Yapıyor. (Out of 12 provinces only 9 state hospitals provide abortions in line
with the law). http://bianet.org/bianet/toplumsal-cinsiyet/175499-12-ilde-sadece-9-

same script was employed for each hospital. Using SPSS, the data were
coded so that the survey responses could be analyzed according to
hospital type and region, as well as the answer regarding the provision
of abortion. Each answer provided in the survey was coded and
accounted for in the data set. The data set was then analyzed for
frequency and cross tabulations were performed. The results follow.
