Solicitor for Medical Law in Fgura

I’m an EU citizen visiting Malta temporarily, not a resident, and I’m wondering what my actual rights are regarding accessing Malta’s public healthcare system if I needed medical treatment during my stay, as opposed to needing to rely entirely on private healthcare or travel insurance.

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?

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 had a concerning experience with a doctor in Malta during a recent medical consultation, where I believe their conduct fell well below what I’d expect from a healthcare professional. I want to formally raise this, but I’m not sure who the right authority actually is, or how the process works.

I received care from a nurse during a hospital stay in Malta, and separately from paramedics during an ambulance transfer, and I have concerns about aspects of the care provided by both. I want to understand whether these other healthcare professionals are held to the same kind of legal accountability as doctors, or whether different standards or rules actually apply to them.

I believe I received substandard care during a hospital stay in Malta, and I’m trying to understand who would actually be the correct party to pursue a claim against, whether that’s the individual doctor who treated me personally, the hospital itself as an institution, or potentially both.

I’ve received a diagnosis in Malta that I have some reservations about, and I want to seek a second medical opinion before proceeding with any recommended treatment. I’m not sure whether my original doctor is obligated to support this, or whether seeking a second opinion could somehow complicate my ongoing care.

A close family member of mine in Malta recently passed away, and I want to obtain a copy of their medical records to better understand the circumstances surrounding their treatment and death. Am I actually entitled to access these records as a surviving family member?
