Can I take a sick leave for an abortion?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Can I request sick leave for an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, people should be able to take leave, including maternity leave, which is generally 7 days, with normal salary payment. There are national regulations for this. If you have a short recovery period after medication-induced abortion and become pregnant again, it may affect the fetus. If you want to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive fetal anomaly scan at 4 months and then decide whether to continue. It is better to cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
