There are many expat women who are originally from Kerala in India but now living in Gulf countries such as Doha Qatar, Muscat Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Dubai and Abu Dhabi UAE.  If they need an abortion, many of them are choosing to go to Bangalore for their abortion procedures, instead of home for abortion in Kerala.  Also many women who live in Kerala, are still choosing to rather have their abortion procedure in Bangalore.

Safe, legal, confidential and Comprehensive Abortion Care (CAC) services

In Kerala, there are fewer options available to receive high quality care and experienced doctors to look after you when having an abortion.  There are also not enough places that are certified Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) hospitals. So, women often have limited abortion in Kerala options at clinics that provide a safe, legal and care-giving environment. There may also be a delay in receiving the help you need to have your abortion and this can put your health and life at risk.  And many women prefer the confidentiality and anonymity that comes with travel to a large progressive city.

Abortions are still not done safely and legally all across India. And you want to ensure that the place you choose to have your abortion is of the highest quality and in particular performs high quality CAC (Comprehensive Abortion Care) procedures in accordance with safe abortion methods recommended by The WHO (World Health Organization), as well as being a certified Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) hospital.

Ease of access for abortion in Bangalore

Many expat women chose to come to Bangalore as there are several direct flights from Bangalore to cities throughout the middle east Gulf countries – such as Abu Dhabi or Dubai, Doha, and Muscat.

Also, several women who live around Kerala from cities in the area such as Thrissur, Kollam, Kottayam, Trivandrum, Pallakad, Kozhikode, Ernakulam, Kannur and Kochi travel to American Hospital Bangalore to ensure they are getting high quality CAC (Comprehensive Abortion Care) procedures, including abortion pills in Bangalore as well as surgical abortion in Bangalore.
