Solicitor for Medical Law in San Giljan

I want to obtain a full copy of my medical records from a hospital in Malta where I received treatment some time ago. I’m not sure whether I actually have a clear legal right to request this, or whether it’s entirely up to the hospital’s discretion whether to provide them.

I work at a hospital in Malta and I’ve witnessed practices I believe are genuinely unsafe for patients, but I’m hesitant to report this formally due to concerns about potential retaliation against me professionally. What legal protections would actually apply if I decided to raise this concern through proper channels?

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?

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’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 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 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 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.
