Parliament has quietly approved a major reform: from 2027, health insurance will cover all pregnancy costs from day one, including abortions.
Until now, coverage only started in the 13th week. Supporters hail the move as a big step for women’s rights, noting global pressure on abortion access.
Pediatric surgeon and Liberal politician Bettina Balmer says affordable access is essential, especially for the vulnerable.
A termination costs up to CHF 2,500.
Despite rising abortion rates, parliament passed the measure without debate, citing equal treatment.
