Medical Tourism - medical treatment abroad- is now taking off. There are many reasons for this - many patients are disillusioned with waiting for medical treatment on the NHS and are therefore seeking treatment abroad.
The advent of low cost airlines such as Ryannair & British Jet have simplified travelling.
A number of British patients on the NHS waiting list incredibly opted to travel as far as India for Medical treatment
But why go all the way to India - a 10 hour trip when you can come to Malta in 3 hours.
In any case receiving treatment in Malta may qualify you for re imbursement of costs if you have been on the waiting list, since Malta is a full member of the EU .
Under EU rules, if you are a European citizen and you have been waiting to receive treatment on your local NHS for an undue period of time, you could be entitled to receive treatment in Malta which is a European Member - and be reimbursed your medical expenses.
I would encourage you to find out more about your rights and to confirm with your health authorities prior to making arrangements for your operation abroad if you intend to seek reimbursement. You should read the Judgement of the European Court entitling patients on waiting lists to seek treatment abroad - the full judgement of the ECJ can be found in our news section on this site, or by following this link.
EUROPEAN COURT JUDGMENT full text
Prices in Malta are highly competitive being at least some 30% less than those in the UK.
Please note that unlike many other hospitals our fixed price packages include the cost of the prosthesis - you should also note that we only use proven high quality prosthesis and not some cheap imitations manufactured in 3rd world countries.
In medical treatment we are proud that the WHO has ranked MALTA in 5th place.
