Act No. 73/1986 Coll. on Artificial Interruption of Pregnancy, as amended by Act No. 419/1991 Coll.

73/1986 Zb.

ZÁKON Slovenskej národnej rady z 23.októbra 1986

o umelom prerušení tehotenstva

Zmena: 419/1991 Zb.

Slovenská národná rada sa uzniesla na tomto zákone:

§ 1

Účel zákona Zákon upravuje umelé prerušenie tehotenstva a so zreteľom na ochranu života a zdravia ženy a v záujme plánovaného a zodpovedného rodičovstva ustanovuje podmienky na jeho vykonávanie.

Predchádzanie nežiadúcemu tehotenstvu

§ 2

Nežiadúcemu tehotenstvu sa predchádza predovšetkým výchovou k plánovanému a zodpovednému rodičovstvu v rodine, v školách a zdravotníckych zariadeniach, výchovným pôsobením v oblasti sociálnej a kultúrnej a využívaním prostriedkov na zabránenie tehotenstva.

§ 3

Prostriedky na zabránenie tehotenstva, ktoré sú na lekársky predpis, ako aj lekárske vyšetrenia a kontrola s tým súvisiaca, sa poskytujú žene bezplatne.

Podmienky pre umelé prerušenie tehotenstva

§ 4

Žene sa umelo preruší tehotenstvo, ak o to písomne požiada, ak tehotenstvo nepresahuje 12 týždňov a ak tomu nebránia jej zdravotné dôvody.

§ 5

Žene možno umelo prerušiť tehotenstvo zo zdravotných dôvodov s jej súhlasom alebo na jej podnet, ak je ohrozený jej život alebo zdravie alebo zdravý vývoj plodu alebo ak ide o genetický chybný vývoj plodu.

§ 6

(1) Žene, ktorá nedovŕšila šestnásť rokov, možno umelo prerušiť tehotenstvo podľa § 4 so súhlasom zákonného zástupcu, prípadne toho, komu bola zverená do výchovy.

(2) Ak bolo podľa § 4 umelo prerušené tehotenstvo žene vo veku od šestnásť do osemnásť rokov, vyrozumie sa o tom zdravotnícke zariadenie jej zákonného zástupcu.

Postup pri prejednávaní umelého prerušenia tehotenstva

§ 7

Žena písomne požiada o umelé prerušenie tehotenstva ženského lekára zdravotníckeho zariadenia príslušného podľa miesta jej trvalého pobytu alebo miesta pracoviska alebo školy. Lekár je povinný poučiť ženu o možných zdravotných dôsledkoch umelého prerušenia tehotenstva aj o spôsoboch používania antikoncepčných metód a prostriedkov. Ak žena na umelom prerušení tehotenstva trvá a ak zistí lekár, že sú splnené podmienky pre jeho výkon, určí zdravotnícke zariadenie, kde sa výkon urobí.

§ 8

(1) Ak lekár nezistí podmienky pre umelé prerušenie tehotenstva (§ 4 a 5), môže žena do troch dní písomne požiadať o preskúmanie jeho záveru riaditeľa zdravotníckeho zariadenia, ktorý túto žiadosť preskúma najneskoršie do dvoch dní od jej doručenia. Na preskúmanie žiadosti si riaditeľ zdravotníckeho zariadenia prizve dvoch ďalších lekárov z odboru gynekológie a pôrodníctva, prípadne aj lekára z iného odboru. Ak zistí, že podmienky pre umelé prerušenie tehotenstva sú splnené, oznámi žene, v ktorom zdravotníckom zariadení sa umelé prerušenie tehotenstva vykoná.

(2) Ak riaditeľ zdravotníckeho zariadenia nezistil podmienky pre umelé prerušenie tehotenstva, oznámi žene písomne výsledok preskúmania, ktorý je konečný.

§ 9 Na postup ustanovený týmto zákonom sa nevzťahujú všeobecné predpisy o správnom konaní.

§ 10

Umelé prerušenie tehotenstva cudzinkám

Umelé prerušenie tehotenstva podľa § 4 sa nevykoná cudzinkám, ktoré sa v Slovenskej socialistickej republike zdržiavajú len prechodne.

§ 11

Príplatok alebo úhrada za umelé prerušenie tehotenstva

(1) Za umelé prerušenie tehotenstva vykonaného podľa § 4 uhradí žena v prípadoch ustanovených všeobecne záväzným právnym predpisom zdravotníckemu zariadeniu príplatok.

(2) Úhradu za umelé prerušenie tehotenstva cudzinkám upravuje osobitný predpis.

§ 12

Splnomocnenie

Ministerstvo zdravotníctva Slovenskej socialistickej republiky vydá všeobecne záväzný právny predpis, ktorým podrobnejšie upraví podmienky pre umelé prerušenie tehotenstva, postup pri prejednávaní umelého prerušenia tehotenstva a výšku príplatku a podmienky jeho platenia. Tento predpis tiež upraví okruh cudziniek, ktorým možno umelé prerušenie tehotenstva vykonať za úhradu.

§ 13

Prechodné ustanovenie Podľa tohto zákona sa prejednávajú aj žiadosti o umelé prerušenie tehotenstva, o ktorých sa právoplatne nerozhodlo pred začiatkom jeho účinnosti.

§ 14

Zrušovacie ustanovenie
