Solicitor for Medical Law in San Gwann

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 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 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?

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.

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?

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’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 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?
