There were 41 pregnancies from the IVF cycles in 2021, a government statement read, adding that it was a positive year for the Embryo Protection Authority and that this was a higher number than in 2020.

In 2021, the authority was relocated to a new building. While visiting the new offices in Luqa, Deputy Prime Minister Chris Fearne thanked the board and the staff of the authority.

The government said that the European Atlas of Fertility Treatment Policies, that is signed by the European Commission, the ESHRE (European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology and Fertility Europe, classified Malta as 'very good' with a 71% score in the same category as England, Sweden, Spain, Finland and Denmark. Malta was classified ahead of other countries that have been offering this service for many years, including Germany, Italy, Ireland and Cyprus, the statement read.
