Abstract

Delayed data on abortion care in Italy impacts citizens’ ability to effectively advocate and hold their government accountable for the management of public healthcare. The Italian Ministry of Health is required to report data on abortion yearly, but this year’s report was significantly delayed. Scholars, advocates, and doctors themselves have raised concerns about transparency and data quality, and how delays affect trust in democratic institutions.
