Public and Private Healthcare Can Coexist In Malta

Malta healthcare is so good that people that travel to Malta to get surgeries.

The healthcare system in Malta has been considered one of the most efficient and well-organized of the world. The reason for this is because the service is funded by a general taxation system that guarantees the correct functioning of every single service given. As in every country where private healthcare centers exist, these facilities are totally disconnected from the government taxation system and offers a paid medical services to the citizens that choose to get a more personal attention. Foreigners and visitors are advised by the Minister of Health to use private healthcare services due to their high range of specialties and their low waiting lists.This is not a reason to avoid public healthcare system, both services walk together to expand their insurances to the population and to consolidate Malta as a country that worries about their citizens as well as their visitors or foreigner workers.

Visitors are also advised to use the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) which grants the visitors access to healthcare in case they travel there in holidays or if the main reason they are visiting Malta is to start businesses. Malta also worries about women and if pregnant foreigners have an urgency, the EHIC covers the maternity services for you to make the checkout routine and other services but only if you have already demonstrated you didn’t enter the city only to give birth. Malta healthcare is so good that every year the number of people that travels to Malta to get surgeries and other therapies have increased enormously.
