Medicare Services Ltd is a Maltese healthcare staffing and health management agency. Hospitals, nursing homes and government bodies use it to find doctors, nurses and care workers, while employers use it to keep an eye on staff sickness, run medicals and meet workplace safety duties. It trades under the line "Excellence in Health Care" and has operated since 1993.
For a UK reader the closest comparison is a mix of a locum and nursing agency and an occupational health provider. On VisitMalta.co.uk it sits in our directory of recruitment agencies in Malta, alongside firms such as Accelerate Finance and Legal Recruitment, which recruits for a very different sector.
Who Medicare is and how it grew
Medicare began with a single doctor and a single nurse and has grown year on year into Malta's most established health maintenance provider and medical locum agency. It keeps both full-time and bank doctors and nurses covering a range of specialities, including intensive care and occupational health, and its bank also includes psychiatrically trained nurses.
Its nurses are vetted, registered and, for the most part, trained in high-dependency units within the NHS, such as intensive care and accident and emergency, so a UK-trained professional will find familiar standards. The agency has taken on sensitive public contracts, among them nursing and medical staffing for the Corradino Correctional Facility, medical cover for centres housing asylum seekers under contract to the Armed Forces of Malta, and community nursing for immigrant populations.

Nurses, doctors and care workers for hire
The staffing side supplies the manpower and project needs of the Maltese health sector: private hospitals and clinics, nursing homes, institutions, the hospitality industry, government bodies and mass events. Medicare Services (Nursing) acts as an agency provider of nursing staff to the private health service, and Medicare Services (Care Workers) offers institutional care, respite care and domiciliary care in people's homes.
Nurses are placed according to their experience and training. The business has also supplied care workers to Mount Carmel Hospital, the island's psychiatric hospital, and currently provides home care workers to private clients. Because the staff bank is large, cover is nationwide and includes the sister island, so facilities there are within reach; see our Gozo island guide for the area.
Health maintenance and screening for employers
Medicare is responsible for the health cover of more than 10,000 employees across private firms, parastatal corporations and government departments. Its health maintenance service covers domiciliary sickness verification, where a doctor visits a sick employee at home and reports the same day, pre-employment medical examinations, ongoing check-ups, vaccination, onsite clinics staffed by doctors and occupational nurses, and representation on company and state medical boards.
Its absence management programme tracks sickness from day one so that HR teams can see the causes, frequency and cost of absence and set clear procedures. The screening portfolio is wide: a full physical with a confidential report, urinalysis, body-mass index, breathing tests, blood investigations, resting ECG, chest X-ray, ear, nose and throat assessments, eyesight and hearing tests. Employee records are held electronically under data protection rules. These are workplace services offered to organisations, not personal medical advice.
Health and safety consultancy and project support
Medicare also advises businesses on health and safety. The consultancy covers compliance with local and EU workplace regulations, setting up an internal auditing system, and implementing environmental, health and safety management to ISO 14001, BS 8800 and OHSAS 18001 standards. Its audit is modelled on the British Safety Council's occupational health and safety audit structure, with a premises inspection, a hazard hunt, analysis of workplace injury data and a written report with a safety plan.
A separate turnkey consultancy supports private enterprises entering health provision, from feasibility and design to the daily running of a day clinic, hospital or nursing home. Investors weighing that kind of venture may find our Malta corporate tax structure guide and the company services of CLA Malta useful for the business side, while ACC Malta Immigration Advisors can help with staff moving to the island.
Events, hotels and getting in touch
Medicare's portfolio extends beyond offices and wards. It provides first aid support at concerts, parties and sporting events, urgent medical calls to travel accommodation including hotels and cruise liners, and first aid and lifeguard courses for company staff. Visitors who fall ill are normally best served through their accommodation, and our overview of hotels in Malta helps with planning a stay, while the things to do in Malta page covers the events these teams often support.
