What you can find at Carlton Centre
Inside Carlton Centre, verified health services are limited to the Clicks pharmacy and an optometry practice. We couldn’t verify a doctor, dentist or women’s clinic inside the centre.
Some directory sites list a “women’s clinic” at Carlton Centre, but we found no official website, no Department of Health designation and inconsistent addresses for these listings, so we don’t list them. News reporting from the Bhekisisa Centre for Health Journalism (2025) describes illegal abortion pills being sold around Gandhi Square in the Johannesburg CBD.
The law: under the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act (1996), termination is available on request up to 12 weeks, from 13 to 20 weeks in specific circumstances, and after 20 weeks only where there is a serious risk to the woman or the fetus. It must be done at a designated facility by a doctor, or by a registered nurse or midwife with the required training. Free services are available at designated public facilities. Minors are advised, but not required, to consult a parent or guardian.
To find legal services, use Marie Stopes’ national line (0800 11 77 85), your local public clinic, or B-Wise, the National Department of Health’s youth health platform. Illegal providers can be reported to SAPS, the provincial Department of Health or Marie Stopes.
