Restricted framework

  • Abortion: Abortion is available on request through 10 weeks; married patients are subject to spousal-authorization rules and public-sector availability is inconsistent.
  • Contraception: EPF's 2026 contraception-policy score is 37.6%; the atlas records limited national coverage.
  • Interpretation: The status combines legal rules and national policy access; regional availability and individual eligibility may differ.
