* One local says, Gynecologic department is in every hospital. And there are hospitals only with this speciality and linked to it. So there are: Aziza Othmena hospital in Kasbah in Tunis, which is the oldest one and a great one, actually, where we practise fecondation in vitro!! Then the biggest one is Wassila Bourguiba Hospital in Rabta in Tunis, the famous one that is only dedicated to women and newborn babies. It is big and all crowded. There are two others the same thing in Sousse et Monastir: big cities on the cost... I recommend also gynecology department of Salah Azeiz it is so small but they do great jobs for abortion and so on. And the department in Ariana hospital Mahmiud Matri, I like it there" (March 2017)

* Gynecology department of Salah Azeiz
* One local says: "Abortion providers are only in hospitals. And under the command of doctors. So, in every department, you can ask for it. When you have your meeting with your doctor. And I would recommend the one in Ariana (It is a public hospital Mahmoud Matri). There are clinics who do but it would be expensive. And the health ministry can't control the price because the private clinic and his owner (who generally not a doctor and would ask doctors to work for him) would put  higher the price of comfort of his place. For private clinics, there is clinic Ennasser in Ariana, which is nice. The best one in Tunisia the most known private clinic is Les Jasmins in centre urbain nird in Tunis." (March 2017)
