This paper looks at the cost of abortion. A woman undergoing abortion has to incur expenditure in various forms, both direct and indirect. A review of the available literature indicates that there is very limited data on the cost of abortion in the country and hence there is a increased need to do research in this critical area of financing for abortion care. There is not only a need to know the abortion charges at the various types of MTP centers, but also the household dynamics like the source of financing the abortion etc. Also, a much better regulation of private medical practitioners as well as dissemination of information to them so that women seeking an abortion are not exploited financially.
