Solicitor for Medical Law in Valletta

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’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’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.

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 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’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’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 suffered harm as a result of what I consider to be negligent medical treatment I received in Malta, and I’m considering pursuing a legal claim. I want to understand, generally, what I would actually need to demonstrate for a medical negligence claim like this to succeed.
