Abortion cost: what affects the price?

Answering “how much does an abortion cost?” with a single number before an examination is usually incomplete or misleading. This page explains the factors that affect the cost and what to look at when comparing clinics.

Key points
  • The cost depends on the stage of pregnancy, the type of anaesthesia and any tests needed.
  • We always share the total cost before the procedure.
  • With very low prices, check the clinic's licence and the method used.

What affects the cost

  • Stage of pregnancy: preparation and procedure time can vary with gestation.
  • Examination and ultrasound: confirming the location and stage of the pregnancy.
  • Type of anaesthesia: local anaesthetic and sedation may differ.
  • Tests: blood group and any additional tests based on your health history.
  • Anti-D injection: if needed for Rh-negative blood groups.
  • Follow-up visit: when considered necessary.

Transparent pricing

At Light Clinic we aim for no surprises. After the examination and ultrasound, we share the planned method and the total cost before the procedure. Contact us for initial information.

What to check when comparing

  • Is the clinic licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health?
  • Is an ultrasound done before the procedure?
  • Is the method vacuum aspiration?
  • Are pain relief and observation included?
  • Is there someone you can reach if a problem comes up afterwards?
Procedures in unlicensed settings, or with pills bought online, carry serious health risks. Price should never come before safety.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an exact price over the phone?

We can give initial information by phone, but the exact cost is set once the stage of pregnancy and type of anaesthesia are confirmed at the examination. We always share the total before the procedure.

Will my travel or health insurance cover it?

Coverage depends on your policy. Please check with your insurer; we can provide the documentation they need.
