If you are in Samoa and are considering travelling to New Zealand for abortion care, The Women’s Health Hub provides private, confidential early medical abortion care from our clinic in Howick, Auckland.
Abortion access in Samoa is legally restricted. If you are considering travelling to New Zealand, contact us before making travel arrangements where possible so we can explain appointment availability, private costs and whether any investigations may be required.
Can someone from Samoa get an abortion in New Zealand?
A person who is in New Zealand can seek abortion care and can self-refer directly to an abortion provider. If you are not eligible for publicly funded healthcare, our private early medical abortion pathway is NZ$500. External laboratory or ultrasound charges may apply when clinically required.
Before you travel
Please contact us as early as possible after a positive pregnancy test. We can tell you what information we need, discuss your expected arrival in New Zealand and explain the likely care pathway once you are here.
Confidential, respectful support
We understand that seeking abortion care while travelling can feel stressful and private. Your reproductive healthcare choices are yours. Our role is to provide clear information, compassionate clinical care and confidential support without pressure or judgement.
