indication for termination of pregnancy based on the woman's socio-economic situation, as
provided in the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act 92 of 1996.

education.

general practitioner and currently practises as such. Dr Nkomo performs the termination of
pregnancy at his surgery. Neither he nor Tebogo completes the consent form that is prescribed by
