Legal Status
Abortion in Albania was legalized in 1995 under the Health Care Law of Albania. The law allows for abortion on request up to the 12th week of pregnancy. After the 12th week, abortion is allowed only under certain circumstances, such as when the woman's life or health is at risk, or in cases of fetal abnormalities.
Procedure
The most common method of abortion in Albania is surgical abortion, which involves the removal of the fetus from the uterus. Another method is medical abortion, which involves the use of medication to terminate the pregnancy.
