Minister for Health and Active Ageing, Jo Etienne Abela, has announced the official opening of the ‘Early Pregnancy Unit’ at Mater Dei Hospital, designed to support individuals experiencing complications during early stages of pregnancy.

“At Mater Dei Hospital, we recognised the need for a dedicated unit to care for individuals facing complications during their pregnancy journey. The Government listened to and understood the public’s call for the creation of this unit.” stated Minister Abela.

Minister Abela explained that, on average, three people in Malta experience a miscarriage every day, with approximately 400 patients per year being admitted to Mater Dei Hospital as a result. The new unit will provide space for up to eight patients requiring further care and monitoring. It will also include an outpatient clinic specifically for individuals experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss.

The Minister further outlined that the unit will be operated by a team of 20 trained professionals, including nurses and midwives. Following specialised training, the Early Pregnancy Unit is scheduled to begin offering its services as of next week.

“I am confident that the Early Pregnancy Unit will not only fulfil its intended purpose, but will also serve as a vital support structure for those who unfortunately experience complications during pregnancy. The Government remains committed to enhancing and expanding services for individuals navigating this critical phase of their lives.” concluded Minister Jo Etienne Abela.
