About the hospital
Good Samaritan Hospital has been providing care since 2020 in a newly built building. It is the only private hospital of its kind in the north of Malta, covering the area from Qormi northwards, and it specialises in post-operative recovery with a team of nurses, carers, physiotherapists and doctors.
The hospital is managed and run by Healthcare First Ltd, which also operates St Thomas Hospital, and it is subject to inspections against the standards set by the health and social care authorities for equipment, staffing, protocols and operations. The on-site facilities include an X-ray machine, a health screening clinic, physiotherapy services and a full pathology service.
Safety and access are built into the design. There are lifts to every floor, a stretcher lift, ramps for wheelchair users, and oxygen and suction supplies at every bedside. Emergency trolleys with automated external defibrillators are kept on every floor, and the nursing team is trained in life support and first aid.
Walk-in GP services and diagnostics
The GP clinic accepts walk-in patients without an appointment, which is useful when you are away from your own doctor. GPs carry out check-ups, give flu jabs and other vaccinations, and perform blood tests, ECGs, blood glucose monitoring and blood pressure checks. Because they use point-of-care diagnostics, some results can be reviewed during the same visit.
The radiology department has modern imaging equipment, and radiographers are on duty every day. Appointments are required for X-rays, but there are plenty of slots each week and no waiting lists. You do not need to be an inpatient to use it: outpatients are welcome, and the department produces scans for post-surgery recovery, for diagnosis and for visa or work permit requirements.
Blood and pathology services cover routine and specialised blood tests through the hospital's own laboratory.
Health screenings for work permits and visas
People moving to Malta for work often need a medical for their visa or work permit, and the hospital runs a dedicated health screening clinic for this, designed as a one-stop shop. It brings together chest X-rays, vaccinations, medical examinations and health assessments, and it can also arrange insurance. The clinic runs Monday to Saturday from 11am to 1pm, and no appointment is needed during those hours.
If you are planning a longer stay or a permanent move, our guide to relocating to Malta from the UK covers the wider process, and our digital nomad guide is useful if you will be working remotely. For the exact documents you need for your own permit, ask the hospital through our enquiry form.
Private rooms and inpatient care
Private medical patients are admitted without waiting lists, a point the hospital stresses for those with private insurance who value privacy and personal attention. Each room has a private balcony and bathroom and a hospital-grade adjustable bed, and many have sea views. A doctor is on duty around the clock for inpatients, and WiFi is available throughout.
A hospital kitchen prepares meals for different dietary needs, including low sodium, diabetic, renal and keto-friendly options. There is a reserved parking bay for patients, and generous visiting hours of 2.30pm to 6.30pm every day let family stay close.
Physiotherapy and recovery
Recovery is the hospital's particular focus. Physiotherapy services cover geriatric, neurological, orthopaedic and post-operative needs, with physiotherapists attending inpatients daily. The in-house gym is set up for rehabilitation, and equipment such as the Sara Stedy helps patients to stand and move safely.
People who have had a hip, knee or other operation can recover on site with nursing, a doctor and daily physiotherapy close at hand. The building is fully accessible, which suits older patients and anyone with limited mobility.
