- Recommendation
In response to the concern CEDAW expressed in its 2001 report regarding the existence of punitive abortion laws that could lead to the practice of clandestine abortions endangering the health of women, the Principality wishes to stress the fact that, given the size of the country, this kind of practice does not occur. In light of our historical and institutional proclivity to protect the right to life in its various phases, as provided for in article 8 of the Constitution and defined in articles 107-109 of the Criminal Code (offences against human life), decriminalizing abortion would entail significant legislative amendments that require a parliamentary majority we cannot currently guarantee. We can, however, commit to examining such amendments in the medium term

- Recommendation
Under the Constitution, the Government recognizes the right of the people to health services, and its obligation to take every step reasonable and necessary to provide said services with the health care system including 2 hospitals in the urban centers and 58 health centers in the outer islands. The Government therefore provides free medical services to its people. Where these services cannot be provided, there are referral programs for patients to Honolulu, Philippines, and Taiwan. In renegotiating the Compact of Free Association with the United States, the RMI Government had maintained that one of its priority areas was health. From the Fiscal Year 2004 through 2009, one (1) new Health Center was constructed including five (5) maintenance projects for 46 outer island dispensaries using Compact public infrastructure funding. Planning already initiated for a new hospital in Majuro, and the hospital redevelopment project for the new hospital aims for ground breaking in early 2011.
