Abortion Through the Public Health System
01 Request an Appointment at Your CAP or ASSIR
The first step is to contact your local health centre. They will inform you and arrange the referral form.
02 Receive the Official Information
At your health centre, you’ll receive all the information about the process. The current law has removed the reflection period, so there are no mandatory waiting times.
03 Choose an Accredited Centre
With the referral form, you can choose to have the abortion at a public hospital or at a contracted private clinic like ours, at no cost to you.
04 Attend Your Appointment and Follow-Up
You’ll be given an appointment at the centre you choose to carry out the procedure and schedule the follow-up visit.
Key Requirements for a Free Abortion in Barcelona
In Catalonia, abortion is a public, free healthcare service if you meet certain requirements:
Individual Health Card (TSI): You must have a valid health card issued by CatSalut.
Meeting the Legal Time Limits: The law allows abortion by free choice within the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. Up to week 22, it is possible under specific medical grounds.
Being Over 16: If you are 16 or 17, you can consent yourself. However, if you are under 16, consent from your legal representatives is required.
Information and Consent: You have the right to receive full information about the procedure and you must sign the informed consent.
Tip for Your CAP Appointment
You don’t have to give detailed explanations about your personal life if you don’t want to. Simply state that you need to arrange a referral for an abortion.
It is your right, and healthcare staff are trained to support you in a professional and confidential way.
If you run into any difficulty, call us and we’ll guide you.
