The Maltese archipelago offers a brilliant and new way of life: you\u2019ll be able to thrive professionally while basking in the sun and contemplating splendid scenery. The cosmopolitan \u2018mosaic island\u2019 has a booming job market; an increasing number of foreign companies are relocating there, especially in the international trade and e-gaming industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Malta also boasts one of the oldest and most successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foyerglobalhealth.com\/destination\/european-health-insurance-for-expats-around-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health systems in Europe<\/a>, with high-quality services in both the public and the private sectors. Many expatriates opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foyerglobalhealth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international private health insurance<\/a> simply because it is available at any time and without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #1c1e45;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-obsidian-color\">Malta\u2019s healthcare system <\/mark><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The Maltese healthcare system has a long-established and solid reputation. <strong>Centralized, universal and financed by general income taxes<\/strong>, it relies on solid public and private infrastructure, modern medical equipment and efficient health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Healthcare services (i.e., primary, secondary, tertiary and cosmetic procedures) are delivered in various medical establishments. Patients receive care in <strong>public medical centres, private practices, public hospitals<\/strong> (such as the Mater Dei Hospital, Malta&#8217;s largest hospital located in Msida), as well as <strong>private healthcare facilities<\/strong> (such as Saint James Hospital, the island&#8217;s oldest medical institution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The Health Centres, however, are the hub of Malta\u2019s public primary healthcare services \u2013 this includes treatment, prevention, and rehabilitation. In case of emergency (or not), you can go to a Health Centre to consult a general practitioner (GP) who almost always also has his own private practice. In fact, the private and public health sectors operate independently, yet in complementary ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Patients can freely choose their GP or specialist in both the public and private sectors<\/strong>; there is no compulsory registration. You will have no problem finding one: there are many on the island!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #1c1e45;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-obsidian-color\">International private health insurance is key to your peace of mind! <\/mark><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Do you have the world as your horizon and Malta as your next destination?

In fact, <strong>international private health insurance is mostly a matter of simplicity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">And here\u2019s why you should go for Global Health specifically\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #1c1e45;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-obsidian-color\">Global Health gives you optimal health coverage in Malta and across the globe<\/mark><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We offer you various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foyerglobalhealth.com\/plans-services\/our-plans\/international-health-insurance-comparison\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international health insurance plans<\/a>, depending on your profile and your expatriation projects.

As soon as you are working in Malta, you are obliged to contribute to the social security system  &#8211; up to&nbsp;10&nbsp;% of your income. You are then covered by the public health insurance scheme, which gives you free access to services including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Primary healthcare<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthcare provided by medical specialists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hospitalisation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergency care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nursing care<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Unlike in other European countries, there is no co-payment for Maltese health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you choose to go to a private doctor, clinic or hospital, all your medical costs won\u2019t be fully covered by the public health insurance and, if you haven\u2019t subscribed to private international health insurance, you will have to pay for all medical expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Global Health gives you peace of mind in Malta, your home country and across the world! <a
