Sanjivani Diagnostic Lab Center
In recent years, Nepal has made significant strides in women's reproductive rights, becoming a regional leader in progressive health policies. However, understanding the current abortion law in Nepal is essential for anyone seeking safe, legal, and confidential abortion services.
At Sanjivani Diagnostic Lab, we believe in providing accurate, accessible, and timely information to empower women to make informed decisions. Our newly published blog – Abortion Law in Nepal: 2025 Guide – offers a complete overview of the updated legal framework surrounding abortion care.
Legal Status of Abortion in Nepal: What Has Changed?
Nepal legalized abortion in 2002 under the 11th Amendment to the Muluki Ain (Civil Code). Since then, the country has continued to update its laws to reflect global standards and protect women’s reproductive health.
In 2025, the legal landscape ensures that:
Women can legally access abortion up to 12 weeks of gestation for any reason.
Abortion is permitted up to 28 weeks in cases of rape, incest, or risks to the physical or mental health of the woman.
Services must be provided by certified and trained medical professionals in authorized health facilities.

How to Access Safe and Legal Abortion Services in Nepal
If you're considering an abortion in Nepal, the most important step is to consult a certified healthcare provider. Only licensed facilities are permitted to offer abortion services under the law. At these centers, patients receive proper counseling, medical evaluations, and safe treatment options based on gestational age and medical conditions. Avoid unauthorized clinics or pharmacies selling unverified abortion pills, as they can be harmful or even life-threatening. You can find trusted information and care at established centers like Sanjivani Diagnostic Lab in Kathmandu, where confidentiality and patient well-being are the top priority.
