Solicitor for Medical Law in Naxxar

My doctor in Malta has recommended a specific treatment for a condition I have, but I have genuine personal reservations about it and would prefer not to proceed, at least not yet. Do I actually have the right to decline a recommended treatment, or could this create problems for my ongoing care?

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’ve had an experience where I felt a healthcare provider in Malta was treating me differently, and possibly refusing appropriate care, based on personal judgments about my lifestyle rather than my actual medical needs. Is this kind of treatment actually permitted under Maltese medical regulation?

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 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’m considering treatment at a private medical clinic in Malta and, separately, I’m also curious as someone interested in the industry, whether private healthcare providers here are actually required to hold a specific government licence to legally operate, or whether this is more loosely regulated.

I’m about to undergo a medical procedure in Malta and I want to understand what my rights actually are regarding being properly informed about the risks and alternatives beforehand, and whether a doctor is legally required to obtain my genuine informed consent before proceeding.

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?
