All EU nationals resident in Malta are eligible to receive free medical treatment from government-funded hospitals and clinics. The main general hospital is St Luke’s in Guardamangia, where all major operations are performed. There is also a general hospital in Gozo offering a wide range of medical facilities. Throughout the islands, towns and villages have their own medical clinics. There are charges for prescription medicines, but people on low-incomes and those suffering from specified chronic diseases are exempt from payment.<br /> <br /> The Maltese Ministry of Health advises foreign residents to take out private medical insurance. There are three very good private hospitals in Malta.<br /> <br /> Tourists from the UK and Australia who are visiting Malta for less than 30 days are eligible under reciprocal health agreements for free emergency medical treatment at a state-run hospital. <br /> <br /> Travellers are not normally required to provide certificates of vaccination or insulation on their arrival in Malta.<br /> <br /> Tap water is safe to drink, but bottled water is also widely available. Milk and dairy products are safe, as are local meat, seafood, fruit and vegetables.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Directory of Hospitals &amp; Clinics</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Capua Palace Hospital</span><br /> Gorg Borg Olivier Street<br /> Sliena SLM 12<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2133 5235<br /> Fax: + 356 2133 5077<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Gozo General Hospital</span><br /> Gozo<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 561 600<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Klinika Vella</span><br /> 43/44 Dun Filippo Callejja Street<br /> Zebbug<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2146 4757<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Mosta Outpatients Clinic</span><br /> Plot 2 Triqil-Kissier<br /> Mosta<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2143 3146<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Saint James Hospital</span><br /> Saint James Square<br /> Zabbar ZBR 05<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2169 2002<br /> Fax: + 356 2169 2030<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">St. Julian's Outpatients Clinic</span><br /> St. George's Road<br /> St. Julian's<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2137 6360<br /> Fax: + 356 2138 3976<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">St. Mark's Health Clinic</span><br /> Clarence Street<br /> Msida MSD 10<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 2124 6654<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">St. Philip's Hospital</span><br /> St.Venera HMR 16<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 442 211<br /> Fax: + 356 446 030<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold">Zammit Clapp Hospital</span><br /> St. Julian's<br /> Malta<br /> Tel: + 356 344 950<br /> Fax: + 356 344 914 http://www.alloexpat.com/moving_to_malta_forum/viewtopic.php?p=167#167 Malta Information Tue Oct 17, 2006 6:05 am http://www.alloexpat.com/moving_to_malta_forum/viewtopic.php?p=167#167
