Expired implant? Your right to removal

An expired implant stops protecting you; it does not become toxic. You can ask for removal at any time, and facilities that insert implants also remove them. Filipinas on Reddit report health centers refusing removals;^[src] if that happens, ask another public facility or Likhaan and POPCOM.
