Comprehensive Reproductive Healthcare at St. Lawrence Medical Center

What is a Surgical Abortion?

A surgical abortion—often called an in-clinic procedure—is a safe medical intervention used to terminate a pregnancy. At our Kampala clinic, we prioritize modern medical standards to ensure the safety and comfort of our patients.

Types of Surgical Abortion

• Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA): This is a gentle, non-surgical method often used in the first trimester.

• Dilation and Evacuation (D&E): This procedure is performed by our specialist doctors when necessary for medical or health-related reasons.
