Is an abortion really confidential in Singapore?

Yes, in Singapore an abortion is treated as a private medical matter, and your personal details aren’t shared with anyone else without your permission. Medical professionals and the clinic have to keep the consultation, procedure and records confidential by law, and they can only disclose information if you agree to it. I had my surgical abortion with Dr Jen Shek Wei, and everything was kept between me and the clinic, no one outside of the medical team was told unless I chose to tell them myself. If you’re under 16, there are some extra counselling steps before the procedure, but the clinic still won’t share your info without your consent. So yes, in my experience and legally, it stays confidential.
