HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN MALTA

Despite its small size, Malta is qualified to provide some of the best health services in the world. The World Health Organization ranked it 5th in general health care in more than 100 countries in Malta.

Recently, Numbo’s independent research on European countries found that Malta’s medical system ranks second in France and has the highest score.

Malta has a strong public healthcare system that provides services to all Maltese citizens and EU residents who hold a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).

There are several public hospitals on the island, one of which is located on Gozo, and there is also a network of health clinics and pharmacies that provide prevention, rehabilitation, and treatment services.

Due to the small size of Malta, no matter where you live, you can easily go to the hospital or health clinic when you need it.

Both provide a wide range of services, from blood tests to diagnostic tests to complex surgeries. They boast of having the latest medical technology, such as 4D ultrasound, a complete digital radiology system, laser-assisted surgery, and spiral scanning of magnetic resonance, etc.

Both hospitals are known for their excellent specialist clinics. For example, Da Vinci Health has a number of clinics, including highly regarded breast care clinics, dentistry and orthopedics specialties.

The St. James Hospital Group has four art clinics and an 80-bed hospital, as well as prestigious ophthalmology.
