Solicitor for Medical Law in Ta’ Xbiex

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 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 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’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’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 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 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?

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.
