'''OVERVIEW''' | '''OVERVIEW''' | ||
As one of the most progressive countries in Latin America, you will find many health care resources in Uruguay. Birth control pills can be purchased over-the-counter, and many contraceptive methods (such as condoms, pills and IUDs) are widely used by Uruguayan women. Emergency contraception (the morning after pill) can also be purchased in pharmacies. There are no travel or residency restrictions related to HIV status, and free HIV tests are offered by the public health care system. You can find pads, pantyliners and tampons in supermarkets and pharmacies. While menstrual cups and ecological menstrual products are less common, they are certainly sold through online and indie sellers, which we list in the "Menstruation" section. Regarding pregnancy, women receive 12 weeks of maternity leave with 100% of wages covered. Finally, abortion has been fully legal since 2012 during the first 3 months of pregnancy. | |||
