Solicitor for Medical Law in Siggiewi

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’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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.
