Latvia sees slight drop in number of induced abortions last year
Latvia recorded 2,421 induced abortions last year, 13 fewer than the year before, according to the Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
According to data from Latvia's Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2,421 induced abortions were performed in the country last year. This marks a decrease of 13 cases compared to the previous year.
While the decline is numerically small, it reflects a continuing pattern in which the number of induced abortions in Latvia shifts gradually from year to year. The figures form part of the centre's regular statistical reporting on public reproductive health.
The source report does not provide further breakdowns, such as reasons for the procedures, age groups, or regional distribution.
