Abortion is legal in Vietnam. As stated in the Law on Protection of People's Health (1989), "Women have the rights to have abortion; to receive gynecological diagnosis and treatment; and health check-up during pregnancy; and medical service when giving birth at health facilities.” There are three administrative levels that perform abortions in Vietnam, depending on the stage of the pregnancy: 1) For 6-22 weeks, central and provincial hospitals 2) 6-12 weeks, district health stations and 3) up to 6 weeks at communal health centers (and, in some cases, private clinics, if they meet certain criteria).
Abortion has been fully legal in Vietnam since reunification in 1975. All reasons for an abortion, including to save the life of the woman, to preserve physical health, or mental health, rape or incest, fetal impairment, social/economic reasons, or available upon request, are all considered valid.
