The third pregnancy that M.K., 31,in UAE, experienced six years ago was very high risk. Only a year before, she had given birth to a stillborn and was forced to have an abortion when her unborn child was found to have a chromosomal abnormality.
She applauded the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) of the United Arab Emirates announcement on Sunday regarding the guidelines and protocols for situations in which abortion is legal. Doctors were optimistic that carrying the pregnancy to term would have a serious adverse effect on my health because I had already experienced a stillbirth,” the woman stated. “At the time, I was in India, and I could easily access the abortion option.” I’ve been concerned about what would happen if I became pregnant again ever since I relocated to the United Arab Emirates. Nevertheless, now that I also have this option here, I feel more at ease.
Pregnant women in the nation would find it easier with this move, according to the medical fraternity. According to Dr. Dani Hanna, head of the department and consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at Canadian Specialist Hospital Dubai, “some women had to travel abroad in the past to access safe abortion services.” “By guaranteeing access to such essential healthcare, this amendment creates a more secure and encouraging atmosphere for women’s health within the nation.”
Dr. Kishan Pakkal, CEO of International Modern Hospital, agreed. He said, “I applaud the government for enacting an abortion regulation that puts the preservation of women’s lives and their safety first.
