The Malta Gay Rights’ Movement has warned about a severe shortage of HIV medication in the country and urged anyone affected to get in touch.
A spokesperson for the NGO said that the situation is “out of control” and that it will have severe repercussions on public health.
In a one-line statement, the health ministry admitted it was still waiting for the full order of the drug to arrive "later this month" but said patients were meanwhile being "supplied with enough supply to meet their demands".
MGRM spokesperson Joe Grima said the organisation had first started receiving reports that HIV medication was unavailable on December 9.
