Sep 28, 2021: Our 1st profile of an Abortion Registry

The Estonian Abortion Registry is run by the National Institute for Health Development. Information about all induced abortions is collected in the central digital Abortion Registry since 1996. Data are collected from an Abortion Card which is filled in for every abortion that has taken place in a health care institution by all health care institutions (incl. private doctors) who do abortions or provide medical care to women who have had an abortion.
