Para 123) Intending to prohibit abortion based on the sex of the foetus and establish assistance services for women who feel pressured to carry out abortions for this reason, the Law on Conditions and Procedures for Termination of Pregnancy prohibits termination of pregnancy and the use of early genetic tests to determine sex up to the tenth week of pregnancy, except when there are risks of hereditary diseases. The law governs in detail the procedure for termination of pregnancy for both adults and minors. Public health institutions act according to the Instruction, which prohibits all prenatal sex identification testing. This has fully taken root in the public sector. However, there is still no possibility to perform adequate control of the private sector, because they are not yet connected electronically.
