Solicitor for Medical Law in Fgura

I’m considering using an online telemedicine service to consult with a doctor for a health concern, rather than an in-person appointment, and I want to understand whether this kind of remote medical consultation is actually legally recognised and regulated in Malta in the same way as traditional in-person healthcare.

I believe I suffered harm as a result of what I consider to be negligent medical treatment I received in Malta, and I’m considering pursuing a legal claim. I want to understand, generally, what I would actually need to demonstrate for a medical negligence claim like this to succeed.

I received medical treatment in Malta some time ago that I now believe may have been negligent, though it’s taken me a while to properly understand the extent of what happened and decide to pursue this. Is there a deadline by which I need to formally bring a claim, or has too much time already passed?

I was recently a patient at a hospital in Malta and I feel I was discharged prematurely, before I was genuinely ready to safely manage on my own, despite raising concerns at the time. What rights do I actually have in a situation like this, and is there anything I could have done differently?

I had a dental procedure in Malta that I believe went badly wrong, causing lasting problems. I want to understand whether dentists are actually held to a similarly serious legal standard as medical doctors when something goes wrong, or whether dental treatment is regulated more loosely.

I’m due to receive ongoing treatment at a public hospital in Malta, and I’d strongly prefer to be treated by a specific doctor I have confidence in, based on a previous positive experience. I want to understand whether patients actually have the right to request a specific practitioner within the public healthcare system, or whether this is entirely at the hospital’s discretion.

I have concerns that someone who provided me with medical treatment in Malta may not actually have been a properly licensed and registered doctor. What are the implications of this, both for the validity of the treatment I received and for any action I might be able to take?

During a visit to a medical clinic in Malta, I became concerned that my personal health information was being discussed or handled in a way that didn’t feel appropriately private or confidential, potentially within earshot of other patients or staff not directly involved in my care. Is this something I can formally complain about?
