Abortion Pill Cost South Africa – Tele-Abortion Service

Telemedicine Abortion in South Africa – Safe & Discreet Pills Delivered to Your Door

Marie Stopes provides a safe, confidential telemedicine abortion service for women under 9 weeks of pregnancy. Consult with our nurses from the comfort of your home and receive your abortion pills discreetly. If you are over 9 weeks pregnancy, please look at our same day surgical abortion which is available to you up to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

What is a Telemedicine Abortion?

Telehealth for abortion pills involves a remote consultation with our nurses, providing access to the medications—mifepristone and misoprostol—necessary to end a pregnancy. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, a key hormone for pregnancy, while misoprostol induces uterine cramping, mimicking a period-like process to remove the pregnancy.

Book Your Online Abortion Consultation With Marie Stopes

An online abortion consultation with Marie Stopes is the simplest, most private way to access safe abortion care in South Africa, without setting foot in a clinic. In just 20 minutes over the phone, our registered nurses gather your medical history, confirm your eligibility, answer your questions, and guide you through everything you need to know before, during, and after taking your medication.

Our abortion consultation online is designed to feel exactly like an in-person visit – just from wherever you are most comfortable. Women across South Africa, from urban centres to rural communities, have used our online abortion consultation service to access care that would otherwise have required hours of travel, time off work, or uncomfortable explanations to family members.

What happens during your online abortion consultation?

Your telephonic consultation lasts approximately 20 minutes and covers the following:

• Confirmation of your last menstrual period (LMP) date and pregnancy stage
• A review of your medical history to determine whether Tele-Abortion is the right option for you
• A full explanation of the abortion pill process – what to expect, how to take your medication, and how to manage discomfort
• Guidance on collecting your pills from your nearest Marie Stopes centre, or arranging discreet home delivery
• Information on post-abortion contraception and aftercare

If, during your online abortion consultation, our nurse determines that Tele-Abortion is not clinically appropriate for your situation, she will help you book an in-centre appointment without delay. Your safety always comes first.

Why Choose Tele-Abortion?

For many women across South Africa, getting to a clinic isn’t always easy. Whether it’s distance, work commitments, childcare, or simply the desire for privacy, our Tele-Abortion service was designed with your real life in mind. It is the first telemedicine abortion service of its kind in South Africa — and it brings the same standard of care you’d receive in one of our centres, directly to you.

Tele-Abortion is not a shortcut. It follows the same clinical process as an in-person medical abortion. You’ll speak one-on-one with a qualified Marie Stopes nurse who will review your medical history, confirm your eligibility, and walk you through every step.
