Guide to Healthcare in Malta - Costs, Treatments & Quality of Care

home visit doctor malta

By Kathleen Evans

The ease of access and affordability of healthcare should always be one of the top criteria when looking for a place to retire . One never knows when a medical emergency or a need for long-term treatment might crop up, regardless of age. Therefore, having your ducks in a row and being well-informed is a necessity before embarking on any travels.

Malta has a healthcare system backed by an excellent track record of providing public-financed care since 1372. That’s when Malta’s first hospital became operational. When the Knights of St. John came to the country in the early 16th century, they started building hospitals as one of their fundamental objectives.

Today Malta offers some of the best healthcare in the world, despite its size. The World Health Organization, in 2023, ranked Malta #26, and Statista.com puts Malta at #19 – ahead of countries renowned for their healthcare programs, such as Portugal , Korea, UAE, and Costa Rica . Other indexes rank Malta’s healthcare in the top 10. Life expectancy in Malta is high, and the population spends, on average, 90% of their lifespan in good health, longer than any other EU country.

Malta, like most countries, has both a public and private healthcare system. We’ll focus primarily on the private one for much of this article, since third-country nationals (from outside the EU) and digital nomads are required to purchase private healthcare insurance to qualify for a visa or residency.

Even with a policy responsible for only major medical needs, covering smaller health issues out-of-pocket is still relatively affordable compared to what one would pay in the US or Canada through the private system.

Healthcare System

Malta’s strong public healthcare system provides free services to all Maltese citizens and European Union residents with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Malta’s public healthcare system is funded via taxes. The islands have eight public hospitals, including one on the island of Gozo , and a network of health clinics and pharmacies that offer preventative, rehabilitative, and curative care. Thanks to Malta’s small size, it’s easy to access a hospital or health clinic when needed, regardless of where you live.

The Mater Dei Hospital (MDH), more famous as Mater Dei, is the main public hospital of Malta, located in Msida. It functions as a specialty facility as well as a training institute. In terms of infrastructure, it has one of the most significant facilities in Europe. Patients are admitted via referrals by a doctor or the emergency department. Expats can utilize this public hospital, but they will have to pay out of pocket. But depending on the policy, they may be eligible for reimbursement through their private insurance.

As more and more residents in Malta purchase private health insurance, the number of private healthcare clinics and hospitals is also on the rise. Most GPs employed with the public healthcare system also work in private practice.

Malta also has three private hospitals on the main island – St. James Hospital , St. Thomas Hospital , and the DaVinci Health Clinics. They offer a broad range of services, from blood tests to diagnostic scans to complex surgery. Having the latest medical technology, such as a 4D ultrasound, a comprehensive digital radiology system, laser-assisted surgery, and MRI and CT spiral scan. As well as 24/7 emergency room and ambulatory services at both St. James and St. Thomas.

Non-EU citizens living in Malta must obtain private healthcare insurance. Naturally, the cost of policies varies depending on your age, health, and deductibles. The price of a private insurance policy is much lower than in the U.S

A growing number of Maltese and EU citizens are purchasing private insurance, despite having access to free public care, which may be a testament to the reasonable cost of private health insurance. Many prefer to have some additional insurance coverage because it allows access to a greater range of physicians and services, and because private care usually offers much shorter wait times.

Most insurance companies, such as Laferla and Bupa, offer a variety of plans to suit individual or family needs. For example, Laferla’s basic “bronze” plan provides limited coverage for private hospital treatment, and full coverage for CT and MRI scans, outpatient doctor visits, and cancer treatment. The top-tier international “gold” plan covers everything, including funeral expenses.

Steve Spada, originally from Austin and now splitting time between Malta and Costa Rica , recently requested a quote from Laferla for himself and his wife. “We are both in our 60s and want an international policy since we are outside of Malta for half of the year. The International Silver plan is €3100 ($3430) for both of us annually, and it covers us for worldwide medical treatment up to €750,000. With it, we also have emergency coverage in the USA and Canada up to €20,000.”

Saul and Gail Klarke, originally from New York, purchased a private insurance policy through Mapfre. “It cost €2300 ($2543) for both of us. They did not raise our rates this year, but they probably will when Saul turns 70. It’s the minimum policy we could buy and qualify for residency.” They are both currently in their 60s. This policy doesn’t cover them outside Malta or for wellness care. “It also doesn’t cover pre-existing conditions. I had breast cancer, which wouldn’t be covered if it returned. But we have kept our Medicare in the US, and I would travel back there for treatments, if needed.”

For expats, purchasing an international or worldwide health insurance policy rather than a local Maltese plan is a good idea. It helps you get access to hospitals and doctors of your preference, and it applies not just to Malta but in other countries where you travel or live part-time.

Which is the best health insurance in Malta is always subjective. Depending on its coverage and your essential needs, it will be different for every expat. Various aspects, like pre-existing medical conditions, age, specific requirements of medical insurance, and the situation in Malta, among other criteria, need to be considered. Yet, you can find insurance plans offered by internationally-known names like Cigna and Allianz. It’s best to research and compare the policies these companies provide to expats in Malta before choosing the best one for you.

Quality of Care

Malta’s private hospitals are known for the excellence of their specialty clinics. Da Vinci Health, for example, has multiple clinics, including a well-respected breast care clinic, a dentistry department, and an orthopedic specialty. St. James Hospital group owns four state-of-the-art clinics and one 80-bed hospital with a renowned eye care clinic. St. Thomas is the newest boutique hospital, stressing comfort and boasting the latest technology.

Besides the three main private hospital groups, nearly 100 smaller private medical clinics specialize in everything from osteopathy to optical.

There are currently no Joint Commission International (JCI)-certified hospitals on the island. An independent, not-for-profit organization, the JCI identifies, measures, and shares best practices in quality and patient safety around the world for medical centers. That said, Malta’s healthcare system is set to gain access to the latest medical technologies and clinical treatments thanks to a deal with Vitals Global Healthcare, in collaboration with Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry and Partners HealthCare International from the US. Vitals will be investing €220 million in revamping Malta’s medical infrastructure following the award of a service concession from the Government of Malta.

The total number of doctors registered in Malta is approximately 1150, serving a population of just over half a million people. Many of the doctors in Malta have studied or worked in the UK or other EU countries. The doctors and staff in Malta speak English, which is a huge advantage for any English-as-a-first-language patient compared to many of the other popular International Living retirement countries showcased.

In Hasmita’s knee injury case, she was very happy with the surgery and the quality of care. “In all I had five visits to the hospital, and I had a pre-surgery consultation where they measured blood pressure and took a blood test. I would definitely recommend the private over the public hospital as treatment was very good and quick other than the initial X-ray. My consultant authorized ten amazing physio sessions, and they have all the rehab equipment to try different exercises.”

Popular Treatments

While Malta is not especially known as a medical tourism destination, compared to places like Turkey, Mexico, Costa Rica, India, and Thailand, there is the beginnings of an emerging medical tourism sector.

The most common procedures for tourists include:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Dental Work
  • Cosmetic Surgery
  • Blood Tests
  • Diagnostic Scans
  • Laser Hair Removal
  • Cardiac Surgery

The following are a few cost comparisons between medical procedures in Malta and equivalent procedures in the United States:

Since Gail Klarke’s Mapfre insurance does not cover wellness, she and Saul pay the affordable out-of-pocket prices. “A visit to a primary care physician at St. James is €85 ($94) - the best private care hospital in the country. The oncologist is about €60 ($66), eye exams are €35 ($39), dermatologist €65 ($72), and a gynecologist visit is €80 ($88). Blood tests are around €280-300 ($309-33). I was due for a mammogram, and 3D imaging only cost €125 ($138) at St. James Hospital.” The average cost for a 3D imaging mammogram in the US starts at $560 without insurance. And blood work can be upwards of $1000.

Dental care is also cheaper than in the US. For example:

Availability of medications.

There are more than 200 pharmacies in the 122 square miles of Malta, with at least one in each village, and a few dozen in each town. Therefore, you’ll find a pharmacy nearby anywhere you live in Malta, just look for the international green cross.

Many medications can be bought over the counter, and GP’s or specialists issue prescriptions if necessary. In most pharmacies, no ID is required. There is no proper customer file, and your prescription is not scanned, as would be the case in many other countries.

You can typically find any medication you are looking for in Malta—or a generic substitute. Most medicine boxes will have information written in English, but you may also find some brands in foreign languages, such as Turkish or Spanish.

You can also go directly to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacistfor advice if you haven’t already seen a doctor. They can provide you with authorized medicine if it doesn’t need a prescription.

Most pharmacies have General Practitioners available for consultation – typically, you will need to make an appointment, but not always. It’s extremely convenient if you need to see a professional about a non-urgent problem and get a prescription.

Steve Spada, a part-time Malta expat, shared, “I needed to have a consultation to see if I should change my blood pressure medication, and I was able to get a doctor’s appointment at a pharmacy the next day. It only cost me €20 out of pocket ($22) for the consultation and check-up. It would probably be 5x that in the States, and double that in Costa Rica with a private GP.”

I checked with the pharmacist at Stella Maris pharmacy in Sliema to get up-to-date prices for some of the most common drugs taken by typical retirees.

Azithromycin antibiotic used for treating pneumonia, ear/nose/throat infections—€12 ($13) for three tablets

Levothyroxine used to treat hypothyroidism—€3 ($3.30) for 28 days

Lisinopril used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure—€10-20 ($11-22) for a 30-day supply depending on dosage

Metformin used for type 2 diabetes to lower blood sugar levels—€5-9 ($5.50-10) based on dose for a 90-day supply

Omeprazole used to treat excess stomach acid causing acid reflux, ulcers, etc.—€12 ($13) for a 30-day supply

Simvastatin commonly used to treat high cholesterol and fat levels in the blood to avoid heart attack and stroke—€4-7 ($4.40-8) for a 30-day supply

Emergency Services

With a highly-ranked healthcare system, it only makes sense that medical emergency services are available. Like other EU member nations, people across Malta can dial the toll-free number 112 for 24/7 emergency services. Both St. James Hospital and St. Thomas Hospital have full-service emergency rooms and much of the population can get to an emergency room within 20 minutes or less. However, there are reports of long ambulance wait times (30+ minutes), and during high traffic (which is often), the ambulance may be further delayed.

If you’re on the island of Gozo and you have a critical emergency, you may need to be life-flighted to the main island of Malta (there is no bridge, so one must take a ferry). This could be quite costly; meaning it is a good idea to have health insurance to cover those type of situations.

Malta’s Ministry of Health website provides information from the latest news regarding health alerts to formulary lists and a list of resources. The expats who weighed in feel that the high EU standard of health in Malta for the relatively inexpensive cost is one of the reasons this Mediterranean country is a great place to consider for retirement in Europe.

From its first publicly funded hospital dating back to 1372, and its history hosting the Knights Hospitallers of St John in the 16th century, all the way to today’s Government Healthcare Service, Malta’s public health care is second to none. Indeed, the 2000 World Health Organization ranked it fifth best of all healthcare systems around the world. That’s impressive for such a small country! (as a point of reference, the United Kingdom ranked 18th). So rest assured you’ll be in good hands.

Public & private healthcare in Malta

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Andrea Horová (@andreahorova) on Mar 27, 2020 at 10:06am PDT

Malta offers free public medical services as well as private healthcare and general practitioners offering primary care. 

The Mater Dei Hospital (MDH) in Msida is one of the largest medical buildings in Europe serving as an acute general and teaching hospital. Patients are admitted to the hospital by a doctor’s referral or via the emergency department. There are also several specialised hospitals, public health centres and specialised clinics ranging from gynaecology clinics and psychiatric clinics to diabetes clinics and speech therapy.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saša Petrovski (@sale.ski) on Oct 5, 2019 at 9:16am PDT

All kinds of testing, treatment, hospitalisation, surgery, childbirth and rehabilitation costs within the free local public health care system are covered through social security contributions collected as a form of taxation. Acute emergency dental treatment is also available free of charge at the public hospital. However, more commonly, one would visit a dentist at a private practice.

While the number of private healthcare clinics and hospitals in Malta is on the rise, many will argue that none can compare to the level of investigation and facilities provided by the public healthcare system. Having said that, for less serious issues, queues and waiting lists will invariably be shorter so private healthcare is a welcome option, if you have insurance.

If you need a doctor

If you need drugs or medical treatment, your first port of call will be a private GP at the nearest pharmacy. Pharmacies in Malta open during shop hours daily and by rotation on Sundays. For a prescription, you can see a doctor at the same pharmacy during consultation hours; you can also get many drugs over-the-counter.

Whole private healthcare comes at a (not-so-steep) price, a GP visit will rarely cost more than 10 euro. You can usually drop in within consultation hours and only occasionally will an appointment be required. Many GPs also do home visits. Any doctor on duty can see and treat a patient at the same time of their visit. GPs in Malta diagnose acute and chronic illnesses, prescribe medication and offer health education and preventive care. They also give referrals to a specialist or the hospital if you require further tests or treatment.

Access to the public healthcare services

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mapky (@map.ky) on Mar 11, 2019 at 1:46pm PDT

If you are using the public health care services, you will be asked for a document of identification and you should have your European Health Insurance Card or Certificate of Entitlement at the ready.

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) covers EU nationals on temporary visits to Malta for necessary and emergency medical treatment from public hospitals and clinics. This can be obtained for free in your home country but note that this does not substitute insurance in the case of serious conditions, injuries and death. Remember that the EHIC does not cover private healthcare costs or medication that is prescribed beyond inpatient treatment or the initial three days after a patient’s discharge.

The UK and Australia have a bilateral agreement with Malta qualifying residents for free medical and hospital care for stays up to one month.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jamie - Great Big Scary World (@jamierbw) on Mar 2, 2017 at 12:38am PST

The E121 form allows access to free public healthcare for expats staying in Malta for more than three months. The form, available in your home country, is registered with the Malta Health Department Entitlement Unit which will issue a Certificate of Entitlement.

Expats living and working in Malta pay national insurance contributions to the social security fund like all locals do; this is about 10% of the gross salary. This entitles them to the same rights to free medical treatment as residents. Non-EU nationals are advised to obtain travel insurance to cover medical costs. If using medical insurance, be sure that you are covered for medical treatment in Malta.

In case of an emergency

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keven (@worldwide_emergencies) on May 25, 2018 at 9:58am PDT

You will not be turned away in an emergency, even without health insurance. But once your condition is stabilised, you will be required to offer proof of insurance. The emergency number for ambulance is 112; calling is free of charge and calls are answered in Maltese and English.

Memo about Malta’s healthcare system

Frequently asked questions, overview of malta’s healthcare system.

Despite the country’s relatively small size, Malta’s healthcare system is trustworthy and has proven its effectiveness. Malta was ranked 10th among 166 countries, according to a study by Wisevoter. The country was given 79.8 points, considering the global average care system score is 54.

The other proof of Malta’s healthcare quality is its current life expectancy index of 83.06 years — four years higher than the EU average. Malta is one of the few countries that did not experience a considerable reduction in life expectancy between 2019 and 2021.

Malta’s healthcare system provides all residents with a wide range of medical services and almost universal coverage. It is divided into public and private sectors. Both offer regular check-ups, tests, and free and paid medical care services. The majority of doctors tend to work in both public and private healthcare facilities at the same time.

Life in Malta: what status to choose for an investor

The public sector is funded by tax revenues as well as contributions to national insurance from employers, employees, and self-employed. Due to this fact, Maltese citizens and EU nationals can use medical services for free or at a nominal cost. The same advantage is available for foreigners who obtained Malta citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment .

Publicly provided healthcare in Malta covers the majority of essential services: from specialist treatment and prescribed medicine to emergency care, surgery, prenatal care and childbirth. However, the waiting time for non-emergency hospital treatment can be quite long.

Private healthcare is funded by private insurance or paid for by the patients themselves. It is a popular option among both Maltese and foreign residents, because getting an appointment in private clinics is usually quicker than in public hospitals.

The private sector delivers a broader choice of specialised services. For example, the largest private hospital in Malta, Saint James Hospital Group, provides most kinds of in-patient and out-patient services, surgical interventions, immediate medical care, and physiotherapy.

Malta’s healthcare system covers medical treatment on three main levels of care: primary, secondary and tertiary. Before exploring how these types work in Malta, let’s find out the difference between them:

  • Primary care is the first point of medical consultation, which is provided by general practitioners and family doctors.
  • Secondary care is delivered by medical specialists and other health professionals who typically don’t have initial contact with patients.
  • Tertiary care services are for patients who require advanced medical treatment and investigation, such as cancer management, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, or plastic surgery.

home visit doctor malta

Primary care in Malta is provided by both public and private hospitals. There are eight medical centres which deliver government-sponsored primary healthcare. Nevertheless, the private sector plays an important role, too. Private clinics allow patients to choose their doctor and set appointments, whereas public hospitals mainly offer care on a walk-in basis. That is why private general practitioners account for 70% of primary care visits.

General practitioners in Malta offer treatment, give referrals to other specialists where needed and prescribe medications. Home visits are available after 8 PM and provided for urgent cases.

The doctors can be found not only in public or private facilities but also in pharmacies. In Malta, almost all of them offer paid general practitioner services at specific hours. These consultations usually apply to minor ailments: a general practitioner can prescribe medication or write a referral to a hospital.

Emergency care is provided at public hospitals, as well as private clinics. These services are only to be used if you need immediate attention, your doctor has referred you, or there is no GP available to treat you. The main state emergency department is located in the Mater Dei Hospital. It is open to everyone and operates 24 hours a day.

Among private hospitals with emergency departments, Saint James Hospital Group is the biggest one. It has three Immediate Medical Care Units around Malta. Each provides immediate first aid, medical assessment and treatment for emergencies and accidents. Notice that insurance is required once a patient’s condition has been brought under control.

home visit doctor malta

Visiting a general practitioner or family doctor first is not obligatory in Malta. Patients can go directly to any specialist, especially in private practice. Secondary care is also offered by most public hospitals over the country.

Specialist doctors can combine work in state facilities with practice in private ones. Private hospitals have high-quality clinics and departments which cover all medical care needs — there can be up to 15 outpatient care services within one hospital. A few pharmacies in Malta have a consulting room not only with general practitioners but also with specialised doctors.

Dental care . Most dental care services in Malta are provided in private facilities at the patient’s own expense. Free dental treatment is available only in emergency cases and to a limited extent. Malta health centres offer a comprehensive range of general dental procedures but charge different fees.

Malta has an advanced level of highly specialised medical care in both public and private facilities. At the same time, it is more affordable than in some European countries.

Inpatient care is provided mainly by state facilities like the Mater Dei Hospital. It has over 1,000 beds, an intensive care unit, a surgical unit, and a recovery centre. The state rehabilitation hospital Karin Grech Hospital in Pieta has 293 beds.

The only hospital on the island of Gozo, Gozo General Hospital, also delivers inpatient medical and surgical services. It is a 302-bed hospital connected with health facilities on mainland Malta with an air ambulance service.

Surgery is performed both in public and private hospitals. Operating theatres at private clinics are equipped with the latest technology and provide a wide range of surgical procedures — from minor surgery to complex major interventions. The most notable private facilities with surgical units are Saint James Hospital Group and Saint Thomas Hospital.

Cosmetic surgery. Private clinics like Da Vinci Health or Saint James Hospital Group perform most kinds of reconstructive and plastic surgery, such as body or face lifts, fat reduction, breast augmentation and more. There are also highly-rated clinics which specialise only in plastic surgery.

Cancer treatment is offered for free in Malta’s public hospitals. The main specialised hospital for oncology is Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre, which is physically and organisationally interconnected to Mater Dei Hospital.

Apart from comprehensive treatment, the hospital implemented a “Nurse Navigation” program. Its purpose is to guide cancer patients through treatment and support for months after it stops. This system was recognised by the World Health Organisation in 2022 and advised to other countries.

  • general practitioner consultation — from €15 to €30;
  • general practitioner’s home visit — from €30;

Private healthcare insurance plans offer to cover the expenses for any treatment — from doctors’ consultations and diagnostic procedures to hospital accommodation fees and cancer treatment.

Malta healthcare: how it works

Who is entitled to free healthcare in Malta?

Due to Malta’s developed public healthcare, its citizens can receive medical treatment completely free of charge. State hospitals provide all the necessary services, including out-patient and in-patient services, specialist consultations, immunisation and vaccination services, emergency dental work, surgery, oncology care, and prenatal and postnatal care.

Patients are supplied with free medicine during hospitalisation and three days after discharge. Below you can find groups of people eligible for free healthcare in Malta.

How to obtain Maltese citizenship

Expats who work legally in Malta also pay social security contributions. It allows them to have the same healthcare privileges as Maltese nationals.

Self-employed. In Malta, they are people who earn passive income from investment, rents and interests. Their remuneration must not come from occupation or trade.

Self-occupied. This term refers to people who are not employed and earn money from trade or skill. Their annual income must exceed €910. If employed workers in Malta earn €910+ a year, but work less than 8 hours a week, they are also considered self-occupied.

Travellers from another EU or Schengen Area state must provide their valid European Health Insurance Card for free medical treatment in Malta. If EU nationals plan to stay in Malta for over 90 days, they must get an S1 form in their country and register it with the Maltese Entitlement Unit.

Australian travellers . Australia has a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Malta, so its nationals can get free essential care in Malta. To receive treatment, Australian citizens must provide their country’s passport and Medicare card. The Agreement applies to up to six-month stays.

UK travellers . Due to a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement with Malta, the British have the same advantage as Australians, but within one month of stay. If UK nationals stay in Malta longer than one month, they must obtain a Reciprocal Health Care Certificate.

If a stay takes longer than three months, UK citizens must register as residents and their UK-issued S1 form with the Maltese Entitlement Unit. In this case, they will get access to the whole range of medical treatment, not only essential care.

Medical insurance in Malta

Malta’s national insurance covers in-patient and out-patient treatment, emergency care, diagnostic services, and management of pregnancy and childbirth. It allows citizens, working expats and residents to use public healthcare services for free.

National insurance is financed by contributions to the Department of Social Security from employees, employers, self-employed, and self-occupied persons.

Social Security contribution rates in Malta:

  • employee and the employer — 10% of the basic weekly wage before tax;
  • self-employed and self-occupied — 15% of the taxable weekly earnings.

Private insurance. Maltese citizens access public healthcare for free, so purchasing a private policy is completely optional. They can buy additional insurance to cover expenses in private clinics.

Some categories of people are obliged to purchase private healthcare insurance in Malta. Among them are:

  • Third-country travellers. Visitors from outside the EU or Schengen Area, the UK, or Australia are not eligible for free healthcare treatment. They need to buy a private healthcare plan. Travel insurance with health coverage is also required to obtain a Schengen visa. Its average price in Malta doesn’t usually exceed 6% of the trip cost.
  • Investors applying for  Maltese residency or citizenship . Annual prices per plan typically start at €400 for the investor and €1,600 for a family of four.
  • Holders of European Health Insurance Cards, Global Health Insurance Cards, or Reciprocal Health Care Certificates. As these documents do not cover private treatment and have limits for public medical services, their holders are advised to purchase private healthcare insurance.

Prices on private insurance plans depend on the number of services included and the age and chronic diseases of the insured. The average cost ranges from €275 to €700+ per year. Comprehensive policies give full coverage, while the most affordable ones can be limited to an in-patient cash benefit for some instances of hospitalisation.

Check the websites of the leading health insurance providers in Malta to find detailed information about their medical plans. Some popular insurers are MAPFRE MSV Life , Laferla , Atlas , Elmo Insurance , and Bupa Global .

Malta healthcare for foreigners

Third-country travellers can visit a hospital for a fee, as they are not eligible for free medical care in Malta. Alternatively, tourists can buy private healthcare insurance to compensate for medical treatment.

Short-term visitors from another EU or Schengen Area state, the UK, or Australia get essential medical care in Malta for free. To get free healthcare without additional requirements, the travelling period must be limited to 90 days for EU citizens, 6 months — for Australian nationals, and 1 month for visitors from the UK.

Expats receive free medical treatment in Malta if they pay taxes and make contributions to the Department of Social Security. Employees and employers pay 10% of the weekly earnings, self-employed and self-occupied — 15%.

How foreigners can get free medical treatment in Malta

Foreigners can obtain a Malta residence permit  — by investment, starting a business, marriage, family reunification, employment or for studying. Non-EU citizens who receive a  residence permit by investment not only get access to local clinics and hospitals but also pay taxes under a special regime. The minimum annual tax rate is €15,000.

To acquire residency in Malta, investors buy or rent real estate and pay an administrative fee. Foreigners must also purchase health insurance for each family member in the application.

Third-country nationals, non-EU, non-EEA and non-Swiss, can participate in the  Malta Permanent Residence Programme . The investors must fulfil several investment conditions:

  • pay €40,000 for the administration fee;
  • rent a residential property for 5 years or buy one;
  • pay €58,000 or €28,000 of the contribution fee for renting or buying real estate;
  • donate €2,000 to a charitable organisation.

Malta citizenship can be obtained by registration, ordinary naturalisation or naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment. The last one allows foreigners to apply for a passport after 1 or 3 years of holding a Maltese residence permit.

The residence period depends on a contribution sum. The residence permit must be kept for 3 years if an investor contributes €600,000 and for 1 year if the contribution amounts to €750,000.

There are three mandatory requirements to obtain Malta citizenship for exceptional services by direct investment :

  • Contribute at least €600,000 to the National Development and Social Fund.
  • Donate €10,000 to a non-governmental organisation.
  • Rent a property for 5 years for €16,000 per year or buy one for €700,000.

Moreover, there is an additional payment of €50,000 for each family member in the application. Investors’ spouses, children up to 29 years old and parents or grandparents over 55 can also get Malta citizenship. All investors and their family members undergo a strict Due Diligence check.

  • Malta provides all types of high-quality healthcare at affordable prices — from general practitioners’ consultations to cancer treatment.
  • Malta has public healthcare, which is available free of charge for its citizens, legally working residents, EU, UK and Australian nationals.
  • A lot of patients opt for private healthcare to reduce the waiting time, choose a particular specialist, or get access to a specific treatment.
  • Private insurance is necessary for third-country travellers and applicants for  Malta residency or citizenship .
  • Foreigners access free medical treatment in Malta by obtaining Malta citizenship by naturalisation for exceptional services by direct investment .

The quality of the country’s healthcare is of a high standard. Malta’s healthcare is ranked 10th out of 166 countries for its effectiveness. Also, Malta’s life expectancy index is four years more elevated than the EU average. The country’s healthcare system works well enough to support people’s health.

Yes, but it is available only for Malta and EU citizens. Most foreigners must purchase health insurance .

Yes, foreigners can visit hospitals in Malta for a fee or after purchasing medical insurance. Citizens from the EU or Schengen Area state, the UK, or Australia are eligible for  free medical care in Malta .

The Maltese Health Care System Explained

The Maltese Health Care System Explained

The Maltese health care system is paid for by the public and it dates back to 1372, when Malta had its first functioning hospital. The Knights of St. John arrived in the country in the early 16th century and quickly established building hospitals as one of their primary concerns. Today it has a publicly paid health system where medical services are provided for no charge at the point of delivery, as well as a private healthcare system. The nation has a strong tradition of GP led primary care, and secondary and tertiary care is also provided by the public hospitals of the country if needed. Foreign residents are advised to obtain private medical insurance by the Maltese Ministry of Health.

World Health Organization’s global healthcare ranking marked the nation 5th in the world at the turn of the 21st century, which is a great result taking into comparison other countries. For example, the United States and the United Kingdom ranked 37th and 18th respectively, which illustrates the quality of the Maltese system. Similar to the British health system in style, the Maltese health system ranking 24th in 2014 and climbed to 23 in 2015 in the Euro health consumer index.

The Maltese health care system is very well-respected, and residents are able to choose between the private and public systems.

Publicly Provided Care

The Mater Dei Hospital (MDH), which is locally referred to as just the Mater Dei, is the primary hospital site, located in Msida. It is a general and teaching hospital, offering standard and specialist services. One of the biggest medical sites in Europe, patients are admitted via doctor’s referrals or through the emergency departments.

The public portion of Maltese healthcare is funded through taxation. This covers any type of treatment, ranging from pregnancy and childbirth through to surgery and rehabilitation. Eight health centres which provide primary healthcare are available over the Maltese Islands, with seven in the mainland and one on the island of Gozo. Apart from general practitioners and nursing facilities and care, the health centres provide a range of services from proactive to reactive care. They cover a wide range of issues, from gynaecology clinics, ophthalmic clinics, psychiatric clinics, diabetes clinics, podiatric clinics, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy and antenatal and postnatal clinics. In addition, secondary and tertiary care is also offered by public hospitals over the country as well.

Private Care

More and more residents are purchasing private healthcare insurance, which has led to an increase in the volume of private clinics and hospitals. With private healthcare, you have to pay every time you visit the doctor. However, most doctors do tend to work as general practitioners in state hospitals and clinics at the same time.

Many locals choose private insurance, making use of the general practitioner and consultancy capabilities on an ad hoc basis, meaning they have to pay each time. Major companies tend to hire private doctors on contracts to attend to the medical needs of their staff as and when needed. The majority of doctors that work in the public system also have their own private practices, which are more lucrative and have better reputations. Furthermore, nearly all pharmacies offer GP services between specific times, with some even providing specialised doctors. This is regarded as private care, and costs around 10 Euros at a time. Patients who require these services are recommended to call ahead to check consultancy hours and to make an appointment if needed. Both private and public systems are presided over by the Ministry of Health, Elderly and Community Care.

Maltese Health Care for foreigners

Expats who move to the country have to pay national insurance contributions to the social security fund like Maltese nationals do. This works out to roughly 10% of the employees’ gross salary, which also applies to the self-employed . EU citizens who are visiting are eligible to use the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and receive medical attention from public hospitals and clinics at no cost. The EHIC card provides cover for necessary and emergency treatments, but is designed to serve as a complement to health insurance, not as a substitute. It does not provide cover for travelling costs for serious conditions, injuries or even death. It is recommended that you fully understand what is included in your policy, and remember to bring your EHIC card as a supplement to your insurance. Due to the bilateral agreement that the UK and Australia have with the nation, residents of these countries are able to receive free medical and hospital care for stays of up to a month.

For expats who will be residing for over three months, free healthcare can be provided by state-run hospitals and clinics as long as they have the E121 form. This form has to be obtained from your homeland. Once you have this form, it is registered with the Maltese Health Department Entitlement Unit, who will issue you with a Certificate of Entitlement. Citizens from outside of the EU should purchase insurance that covers treatments abroad, and ensure that it covers medical evacuations too as some policies do not.

Worldwide cover

Maltese Health insurance policies bought locally won’t work outside of the country unless you have specifically requested international cover. If you do have a foreign policy that does not provide international cover customised for expats, it may not even be possible to work. Therefore, it is highly recommended to check where your existing insurance provides cover for. To get international cover, you will have to notify your insurance company that you will be moving and request it, which will likely come with an additional charge. A comprehensive international policy will insure you against medical costs while living here, at home and for medical evacuation if needed.

Mater Dei is the primary hospital, founded in 2007 when it replaced St Luke’s as the main public hospital. St Luke’s in Pietà is now the second most important hospital, providing a full range of services including open-heart surgery, transplants, and psychiatric treatment where needed. Other hospitals are available, including the oncology hospital Paul Boffa in Floriana, the geriatric hospital St Vincent De Paule, and the Gozo General Hospital. This is the only hospital on Gozo.

The country also has highly regarded private facilities that are equipped with the latest technology in the medical industry. As well as providing care for Maltese residents, these are available to patients around the world who travel to the country for treatment. The independent private hospital St. Philip’s specialises in knee and hip replacement surgeries, and is also a leader in plastic and re-constructive surgery. It is renowned for its use of the latest implant methods and the quality of the joint prosthesis provided.

The historic St. James Hospital is the longest running private medical centre in the country, offering a treatments from simple pathological tests through to cosmetic surgeries. The group which the hospital belongs to also own a further four, more modern clinics in the country, including an 80-bed hospital in Sliema with a dedicated eye clinic. Cosmetica is another private hospital that specialises in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Specialist or non-emergency hospital treatments need to be referred by a GP.

Older villages and towns in the land provide medical care through their local clinics. There are 47 in total, staffed by administrators that provide prescription medicine, which has to be prescribed for you by the health centres. A GP attends the clinic at a specific time every week to write up these prescriptions and perform routine checks on patients.

The CommCare Assessment Unit (CAU) is staffed with nurses. It is in place so people who require community-based care have access to the treatment they need, and to further improve the independence and general health of patients. The CAU assessors attempt to increase community care and the provision of it, and to reduce the inequalities in general care.

Despite the undoubted quality of the public facilities, there may still be waiting times for non-emergency hospital treatment. If you are not happy with the waiting times, it is advised to opt for private care. While this requires that you pay extra for the service, you will have the peace of mind knowing that you will receive quick treatment when you need it most.

Waiting times for, elective surgeries are among the highest around. For example, patients have sometimes had to wait up to three weeks to get a CT scan, and waiting times in the emergency departments can sometimes last as long as three hours.

Doctors and GPs

Most GPs work at health centres, providing the first point of contact for patients all year round, often including nights as well. Citizens are not required to register with a doctor in the Maltese system, since the doctor on duty at the health centre will treat them when they visit. For expats wishing to make use of the state medical care, you have to make sure that your doctor is part of the state run scheme. If anybody who is not the public-funded doctor treats you, you are then required to pay the fees that this incurs.

GPs offer treatment for acute and chronic illnesses, provide referrals where needed and prescribe medications. In addition to this, they also offer health education and preventive care for patients. You rarely have to make an appointment as the system works on a first come first served basis. Home visits are provided as well by doctors, but these are only available after 8pm and is only provided for urgent cases. The Malta Memorial District Nursing Association does also offer midwifery and community care. The association is registered on a contract basis with the government health fund.

With privatised care, you should initially register with a GP based in your area. After this point, any further treatment needed will require you to be referred to specialist doctors by your GP.

Consultants

Senior doctors who have gone on to gain further specialised training are considered as consultants, and they are usually referred to when a patient requires a specialist diagnosis that the general practitioners are unable to provide. Often based at hospitals, they may also attend clinics run by health centres as well on occasion.

Dental Professionals

Emergency dental treatment is provided free of charge if you go to public hospitals or Maltese health centres, but this is not widely available. Most dentists have their own private practices, but do bear in mind that this would count as private care so would not be refundable with an EHIC.

Prescription Medications

Medication prescribed during an inpatient stay or for the initial three days after the patient has been discharged is free of charge, provided you show your EHIC. Any drugs prescribed after this period carry a cost and are non-refundable under the terms of the EHIC agreement. If you have to bring your own medicine for any particular condition, you must have a letter from your GP stating the medication type and the reason it is required. For anything that comes under the controlled drugs category, you must abide by standard regulations regarding the export of drugs.

Apart from Sundays, where they open from 9am until 12.30pm (and from 7.30-11am in Gozo), pharmacies generally operate normal working hours. Consultants and doctors are the only people permitted to scribe prescriptions in Malta, and non-prescription medicines are often more expensive than prescription medicines. The Maltese Healthcare System repays any costs prescription drugs incur for you using the public system. There is at least one pharmacy available on every village over the islands.

Emergency medical care

Emergency care is available to everyone, but once a patient’s condition has been brought under control proof of insurance is required. Open throughout the year, treatments are provided in the emergency wards of all hospitals. These services are only to be used if you require immediate attention, if your doctor has referred you, or if there is not a GP available to treat you. The emergency number is 112 which is free of charge.

Eye Specialists

Ophthalmologists consult in the diagnosis and treatment of eye conditions. Services they provide include vision services, eye exams, and medical eye care for conditions such as glaucoma, iritis and chemical burns.

Their expertise extends to surgical eye care for trauma, crossed eyes, cataracts, glaucoma, and other problems. Additionally they may provide plastic surgery for drooping eyelids and smoothing wrinkles.

They are different from optometrists and opticians, mostly in their level of education and the ability to diagnose and treat various eye and vision problems. Eye specialists can not only prescribe glasses to correct your vision but also treat and diagnose other eye diseases and vision problems.

When to see an eye specialist

Most of the time you will need to see an eye specialist when you have difficulties to see clear, however, you will have to visit one or will be referred by your GP if you are experiencing one or few of the symptoms below:

  • Pain in eyes
  • Flashes of light
  • Dark spots in the visual field
  • Burning or itching of the eyes or skin around
  • Excess eye discharge
  • Double vision
  • Curtain blocking vision
  • Bulging eyes
  • Crossed eyes
  • Ghost like image

Remember to always consult with your GP if you’re unsure or experiencing any issues.

CDC updates Covid isolation guidelines for people who test positive

A passenger wears a mask while riding a train in Washington, D.C.

People who test positive for Covid no longer need to isolate for five days , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

The CDC’s new guidance now matches public health advice for flu and other respiratory illnesses: Stay home when you’re sick, but return to school or work once you’re feeling better and you’ve been without a fever for 24 hours.

The shift reflects sustained decreases in the most severe outcomes of Covid since the beginning of the pandemic, as well as a recognition that many people aren’t testing themselves for Covid anyway.

“Folks often don’t know what virus they have when they first get sick, so this will help them know what to do, regardless,” CDC director Dr. Mandy Cohen said during a media briefing Friday.

Over the past couple of years, weekly hospital admissions for Covid have fallen by more than 75%, and deaths have decreased by more than 90%, Cohen said.

“To put that differently, in 2021, Covid was the third leading cause of death in the United States. Last year, it was the 10th,” Dr. Brendan Jackson, head of respiratory virus response within the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said during the briefing.

Many doctors have been urging the CDC to lift isolation guidance for months, saying it did little to stop the spread of Covid.

The experiences of California and Oregon , which previously lifted their Covid isolation guidelines, proved that to be true.

“Recent data indicate that California and Oregon, where isolation guidance looks more like CDC’s updated recommendations, are not experiencing higher Covid-19 emergency department visits or hospitalizations,” Jackson said.

Changing the Covid isolation to mirror what’s recommended for flu and other respiratory illnesses makes sense to Dr. David Margolius, the public health director for the city of Cleveland.

“We’ve gotten to the point where we are suffering from flu at a higher rate than Covid,” he said. “What this guidance will do is help to reinforce that— regardless of what contagious respiratory viral infection you have — stay home when you’re sick, come back when you’re better.”

Dr. Kristin Englund, an infectious diseases expert at the Cleveland Clinic, said the new guidance would be beneficial in curbing the spread of all respiratory viruses.

“I think this is going to help us in the coming years to make sure that our numbers of influenza and RSV cases can also be cut down, not just Covid,” she said.

Latest news on Covid

  • Common Covid symptoms follow a pattern now, doctors say.
  • Covid during pregnancy can cause health issues in babies.
  • How big of a risk is coinfection with Covid and other viruses?

Still, the decision was likely to draw criticism from some clinicians who point to the fact that the U.S. logged 17,310 new Covid hospitalizations in the past week alone.

“It’s something that is likely to draw a wide array of opinions and perhaps even conflicting opinions,” said Dr. Faisal Khan, Seattle’s director of public health. “But [the CDC’s] rationale is sound in that the pandemic is now in a very different phase from where it was in 2021 or 2022 or 2023.”

Though the isolation guidelines have been wiped away, the CDC still encourages people to play it safe for five days after they are feeling better. That includes masking around vulnerable people and opening windows to improve the flow of fresh air indoors.

The majority of viral spread happens when people are the sickest. “As the days go on, less virus spreads,” Cohen said.

People at higher risk for severe Covid complications, such as the elderly, people with weak immune systems and pregnant women, may need to take additional precautions.

Dr. Katie Passaretti, chief epidemiologist at Atrium Health in Charlotte, said it was a “move in the positive direction.”

“We are continuing to edge into what the world looks like after Covid, with Covid being one of many respiratory viruses that are certain that circulate,” she said.

The new guidance is for the general public only, and does not include isolation guidelines in hospital settings, which is generally 10 days.

On Wednesday, the agency said that adults 65 and older should get a booster shot of the Covid vaccine this spring. It’s anticipated that the nation will experience an uptick in the illness later this summer.

Winter and summer waves of Covid have emerged over the past four years, with cases peaking in January and August, respectively, according to the  CDC .

Another, reformulated, shot is expected to be available and recommended this fall.

CDC’s main tips for reducing Covid spread:

  • Get the Covid vaccine whenever it is available. Cohen said that 95% of people who were hospitalized with Covid this past winter had not received the latest vaccine.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes, and wash hands frequently.
  • Increase ventilation by opening windows, using air purifiers and gathering outside when possible.

Millions of voters in states across the country cast their ballots in the presidential primary on Super Tuesday, leaving little doubt that the November election will be a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.

But in a race that is increasingly inevitable, a New York Times/Siena College poll found a critical group of voters who are making the outcome of that race anything but certain.

Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, explains who these voters are and why they present a particular threat to Mr. Biden.
