How do I get the contraceptive implant in Malta?

In Malta the Implanon NXT, which is an implant that lasts for three years, costs around 185 Euro. This does not include doctors' fees and clinic fees.
 
You can have the implant inserted, replaced, or removed at private gynaecology clinics, such as St James Hospital. Not every gynaecologist inserts or removes implants, so be sure to check with them before you book your appointment. If you want us to recommend a gynaecologist who does implants, contact FPAS.
 
Unfortunately, the implant is not available on the public health service, and has to be paid for privately.
