Why women from the Czech Republic choose Turkey
Many women from Prague, Brno, and Ostrava travel to Turkey for affordable, discreet, and high-quality abortion care.
While abortion is legal in the Czech Republic, some women choose Turkey to ensure complete confidentiality, multilingual support, and faster access without waiting periods.
Turkish clinics offer a comfortable, respectful, and safe environment for international patients seeking personalized care.
Main reasons Czech patients prefer Turkey:
-
Affordable medical procedures compared to Western Europe
-
No waiting time or administrative restrictions
-
Multilingual (English, Czech, German, Russian) coordination
-
Modern, sterile facilities with experienced gynecologists
-
Full confidentiality from consultation to recovery
Travel information for Czech patients
Flights from Prague (PRG) to Istanbul Airport (IST) or Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) take about 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Clinics are located 30–45 minutes from the airports.
For those preferring land travel, bus and car options are also available from Brno or Ostrava to Istanbul.
Clinics can assist with airport transfers, hotel arrangements, and translation support.
Before traveling:
-
Confirm pregnancy with a blood test or ultrasound in the Czech Republic.
-
Contact the clinic via WhatsApp (+90 541 998 34 34) for scheduling and pricing.
-
Plan a 2-day visit — procedure on the first day and recovery on the second.
-
Bring your passport and, if married, spousal consent (required under Turkish law).
Abortion options available in Turkey
Two safe, evidence-based abortion methods are offered depending on pregnancy duration and patient preference.
1. Medical Abortion (Abortion Pill)
This non-surgical method is suitable for pregnancies up to 10–11 weeks.
It involves two medications — mifepristone and misoprostol — administered under medical supervision.
-
Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone.
-
Misoprostol induces uterine contractions, causing the pregnancy tissue to pass naturally.
The process usually completes within 24–48 hours, similar to a heavy menstrual period.
According to PubMed (2023), the success rate is above 98% when supervised by medical professionals.
Advantages:
-
Non-surgical, private, and simple
-
Fast recovery
-
Minimal risks or complications
Possible side effects: mild cramping, fatigue, or nausea.
2. Surgical Abortion (Vacuum Aspiration)
Surgical abortion, or vacuum aspiration, is performed up to 14–16 weeks of pregnancy.
It is a short, safe, and effective procedure done in a sterile clinical environment.
Procedure steps:
-
Local anesthesia or mild sedation is given.
-
The cervix is gently dilated.
-
A sterile suction device removes the pregnancy tissue.
The entire procedure lasts 5–10 minutes, and the patient is discharged within an hour.
Recovery is quick — most women return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Safety:
According to UpToDate (2024), vacuum aspiration is safer than many routine outpatient procedures and does not affect fertility.
Abortion law in Turkey
Abortion (kürtaj) is legal up to 10 weeks of pregnancy.
-
Single women: can decide independently.
-
Married women: require written spousal consent.
-
Beyond 10 weeks: abortion is allowed only for medical reasons, such as maternal health risks or fetal abnormalities, confirmed by doctors.
Clinics in Turkey operate under full compliance with Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and maintain strict patient confidentiality.
Privacy and confidentiality for Czech patients
All medical and personal information is kept strictly confidential.
Data is never shared with third parties or authorities.
English- and Czech-speaking staff support patients through the entire process.
Female doctors are available upon request for women who prefer female care providers.
After-abortion care and recovery
Physical recovery:
Light bleeding may last 7–10 days. Mild cramps are normal and managed with over-the-counter medication. Avoid sexual intercourse, tampons, or swimming for one week.
Emotional recovery:
Most women feel relief, though temporary mood changes may occur.
Clinics provide post-abortion counseling and emotional support in English or Czech if needed.
Possible complications (extremely rare)
| Complication | Frequency | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy bleeding | <0.5% | Medication or repeat aspiration |
| Infection | <0.1% | Antibiotics |
| Incomplete abortion | <0.4% | Follow-up procedure |
| Uterine injury | <0.05% | Surgical repair (very rare) |
Serious complications are extremely rare when procedures are performed by experienced gynecologists in sterile conditions.
Fertility after abortion
Safe abortion has no effect on fertility.
Women can conceive again after their next menstrual cycle once cleared by a doctor.
Studies from PubMed (2023) confirm that properly performed abortions do not cause infertility, ectopic pregnancy, or miscarriage.
Contraception after abortion
Clinics offer personalized contraceptive counseling and options, including:
-
Oral contraceptive pills
-
Hormonal injections or patches
-
IUDs or contraceptive implants
-
Barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms)
Abortion costs for Czech patients
Average prices for international patients:
-
Medical abortion (pill): €300–€600

Clinics offer transparent prices, private payment options, and same-day appointments.
