Description

Facilities require the permission of the competent government to perform abortions, unless,

• they are included in the hospital plan with the speciality "gynaecology and obstetrics", or
• they are operated by a public-law institution in a legal form under public or private law;

the same applies in the case of participation by a public-law body in a hospital run in a legal form under private law, if the predominant influence of the public-law body is ensured in particular by its majority in the share capital or by its voting rights or by the legal or organisational circumstances.

Permission pursuant to Art. 3 of the Bavarian Pregnancy Assistance Supplementary Act (BaySchwHEG) requires a written application from the sponsors or owners, in which the facility is designated and with which the specialist medical recognition of the gynaecologists and anaesthetists prepared to assist in abortions is proven.

Prerequisites

Permission is granted if it is proven that in the facility

• the requirements of § 13 Paragraph 1 of the Pregnancy Conflict Act (SchKG) are met,
• doctors with specialist recognition in the field of "gynaecology and obstetrics" and the necessary, professionally suitable assistant staff are available,
• the provision of care by doctors with specialist recognition in the field of "anaesthesiology" is ensured if an abortion is performed under general anaesthesia,
• sufficient emergency intervention is possible,
• premises are available in such a condition that the abortion can be performed according to the rules of medical art, the requirements of hygiene and without any other danger to the pregnant woman,

the equipment required to determine the age of the pregnancy is available
and if the provider or owner of the facility guarantees that the legal obligations in the performance of abortions, including the obligations under Art. 5 BaySchwHEG, are complied with. Permission may be granted subject to conditions and requirements.

Procedure

The written application shall be addressed to the lower authority for health, veterinary affairs, food and consumer protection, which shall forward it without delay to the competent government in whose jurisdiction the establishment is located, together with an opinion on the fulfilment of the requirements.
