How are healthcare services Malta?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Malta, they replied:
"Malta offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and mental health services. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all Maltese citizens and permanent residents. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained staff. Foreign residents are also eligible for free public healthcare, provided they have a valid residence permit. Expats in Malta can use the public healthcare system by registering with the Department of Health and obtaining a health card. This card allows them to access the same services as Maltese citizens, including free doctor visits and hospital care," said one expat.
