Understanding your rights is the first step to receiving good care. Thai law protects you in several important ways.
Right to access services
Women have the right to request abortion services under the conditions defined by law. Certified public and private providers must deliver care without discrimination.
Right to information
You have the right to clear information about your options, the risks, the procedure, and the costs before making a decision.
Right to privacy
Your health information is protected under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) B.E. 2562. It cannot be shared with third parties without your consent.
If your rights are violated
If a facility refuses care without legitimate reason, or you experience discrimination, you can file a complaint with the Department of Health, the Ministry of Public Health, or the relevant professional council.
