How to Get an English-Speaking Doctor in Malta
Malta has quickly become one of the Mediterranean’s most dynamic hubs: a mix of locals, expats, international students, digital nomads, and millions of tourists every year. In this vibrant but busy context, getting sick far from home—or when you simply don’t have a family doctor yet—can be stressful.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that MedinAction is now available in Malta, connecting you with licensed, English-speaking doctors for home visits right where you are.
Whether you’re staying in a hotel, living in a rental apartment, or studying on the island, you can now request a doctor to come to you—quickly, safely, and without the language barrier.
Why Malta?
Malta welcomes people from all over the world: English is widely spoken, but navigating a new healthcare system when you don’t feel well can still be complicated.
With MedinAction in Malta, you can:
-
Avoid long waits in walk-in clinics or hospital ERs for non-urgent problems
-
Skip the stress of finding an English-speaking doctor at short notice
-
Receive care in the comfort of your accommodation, whether that’s a hotel, Airbnb, student residence, or your home
Our goal is simple: make high-quality medical care accessible and understandable, wherever you are on the island.
How the Service Works
Getting a doctor to come to you in Malta is easy:
1. Request a visit
-
Go to our website or app and look for “House Call Doctors in Malta” under our Services.
-
Fill in the request form, tell us where you are staying, and briefly describe your symptoms.
2. We match you with a doctor
-
A licensed, English-speaking physician reviews your request.
-
We organize a house call visit to your location in Malta.
3. The doctor comes to you
-
The doctor visits you at your accommodation, examines you, answers your questions, and—if needed—provides:
-
Prescriptions
-
Medical certificates
-
Advice on further tests or specialist care
-
Whenever possible, we aim for same-day or next-day visits, depending on your location and the urgency of your situation.
Who Can Use MedinAction in Malta?
Our Malta service is ideal for:
-
Tourists and cruise passengers who fall ill unexpectedly
-
International students who don’t yet have a local GP
-
Expats and digital nomads who prefer care in English
-
Families on holiday with children who need a pediatric visit
-
Anyone who simply prefers a doctor at home rather than a clinic visit
What Conditions Do We Treat?
MedinAction doctors can help with a wide range of non-emergency conditions, including:
-
Fever, cough, flu-like symptoms
-
Stomach pain, food poisoning, gastroenteritis
-
Ear, nose, and throat infections
-
Skin rashes, allergic reactions, insect bites or stings
-
Minor injuries, muscle pain or strains
-
Urinary tract infections
-
Medication renewals and general medical advice
If during the visit the doctor believes you need more advanced care, they will guide you to the most appropriate local clinic or hospital and explain the next steps.
🔴 Important: MedinAction is not an emergency service.
In case of serious or life-threatening symptoms (chest pain, severe breathing difficulty, major trauma, loss of consciousness, etc.), you should call 112, Malta’s emergency number, or go directly to the nearest hospital.
Insurance and Payment
Many international health insurance plans and travel insurance policies offer coverage or reimbursement for out-of-pocket medical expenses abroad, including house-call visits.
-
You pay for the visit directly.
-
We provide a detailed invoice in English, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement, according to your policy terms.
We accept cash, credit and debit cards, and PayPal for payments.
For some insurance partners, we also offer a direct billing service, so you may not have to pay upfront for the visit. Before booking, please contact us to check the coverage of your insurance policy.
