Doctors for Choice Malta has revealed that all access codes linked to abortion pill safes placed across Malta and Gozo have already been used, in what the group described as a stark sign of how many women are being failed by the country’s healthcare system.The safes, installed on 16th April by Women on Waves, contained abortion pills and were positioned in undisclosed locations across Malta and Gozo.People seeking an abortion who were less than nine weeks pregnant could contact Women on Waves by email to receive the location and access code for the safes.However, in a statement shared today, Doctors for Choice said demand had already exhausted every available code.“The padlocks have already been used up,” the organisation said, calling it a sad reflection of how many women in Malta are not receiving the care they need through the national health service.Malta remains one of the only countries in Europe with highly restrictive abortion laws, though limited legal reforms in recent years introduced narrow exceptions when a pregnant person’s life is at risk.The development is likely to reignite debate around reproductive healthcare access, as campaigners continue to argue that people in Malta are still being forced to seek support outside the public system.
