Harvard's University Health Services (UHS) does not promise students anonymity. But it does promise doctor-patient confidentiality.
When UHS admits a student, the nurse on call releases the student's name to a senior tutor or assistant dean of freshmen. But policy requires that UHS reveal no other information.
Cohen said that if a student asks for the RU-486 treatment, the counselor will refer her to either Planned Parenthood or Brigham and Women's Hospital, UHS's two referral services that currently offer the drug.
Cohen said that no students were ever referred from UHS for this type of medical abortion.
"All the follow-up medical care [for RU-486] will be done through Planned Parenthood or Brigham and Women's," she said. "But UHS will be available to do all the counseling."
