Health CareEuropean Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland:
If you or any of your dependants are suddenly taken ill or have an accident during a visit to an EEA country or Switzerland, free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available – in most cases on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Each country has different rules about state medical provision. In some, treatment is free. In many countries you will have to pay part or all of the cost, and then claim a full or partial refund. The EHIC gives access to state-provided medical treatment only and the scheme gives no entitlement to medical repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised. Note that the EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid. Some restrictions apply, depending on your nationality.
Emergency medical treatment is available free from doctors in government health centers. Acute emergency dental treatment is provided free of charge in hospital out-patient wards or government health centers, but is not widely available. Most dentists practice privately. Any prescription charges incurred are not refundable. Emergency treatment in the accident and emergency department of a government hospital is free for both in-patients and out-patients. Any medication prescribed during in-patient treatment, or for the first three days after you are discharged, is free, but you will be charged in full for anything prescribed after this period. These charges are not refundable. The principal hospitals are St Luke’s, Guardamangia in Malta and Craig Hospital, Victoria in Gozo. Ambulance travel is free in an emergency, as long as you can prove that you are entitled to treatment. More information can be obtained from Entitlement Unit, Ministry of Health, 24 St John’s Street, Valletta CMR02 (tel: 2299 2345
or 2299 2346).
Note: Malta has a reciprocal health agreement with Australia; residents from Australia visiting for mo longer than one month are also entitled to free medical hospital care in Malta.
Note1A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travelers over nine months of age arriving from infected areas. If indicated on epidemiological grounds, infants under nine months of age are subject to isolation or surveillance if arriving from an infected area.
