A 2016 internal report into Malteser International found that some projects were distributing contraceptives which could cause abortion.
The report, seen by the Catholic Herald, was written by three leading bioethicists: Dr Neil Weir, Professor Luke Gormally and Professor John Haas. It was sent to hundreds of Order of Malta members around the world.
The Order of Malta, of which Malteser International (MI) is part, commissioned the report in 2015, after concerns were raised about possible distribution of contraceptives by MI projects.
