Dr Aleksandra Gajecka

Dr Aleksandra Gajecka is a paediatrician practising in Malta who combines clinic appointments with home visits, which many parents of unwell children find the most practical way to be seen. She works across the east, north-east and central areas of the island, and her page on VisitMalta.co.uk sits in our directory of paediatric clinics in Malta.

Her approach is personalised and family centred. She carries out assessments and examinations, answers questions about development based on current medical knowledge and helps families find their way around the local healthcare system, including referrals to specialists when they are needed.

Services for children

The core service is the treatment of sick children, with a measured approach to medication, including avoiding overuse of antibiotics and a careful approach to allergies and asthma. She also looks after children with chronic conditions and offers continuing care so that your child sees the same doctor over time.

Regular child health check-ups are preventive examinations that track health and development and give parents a chance to ask about feeding, care and behaviour. Online consultations are available for preliminary diagnostics, and she issues the certificates nurseries, schools and other institutions ask for. Counselling on children's physical and mental development is part of the visit, and the doctor aims to give parents clear, fact-based answers in an unhurried way. This page describes the services offered and gives no medical advice, so please speak to the doctor about your own child's needs.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations are given at the clinic by appointment, and a periodic check-up of the child takes place at the same visit. An individual schedule is agreed with each family. For children born in Malta or holding a Maltese ID number, the vaccines mandatory in Malta are offered free of charge, including Hexyon (6 in 1), Synflorix, Bexsero, Nimenrix, MMRvaxPro and Gardasil.

The practice site has detailed guides to childhood vaccines and the National Immunisation Schedule. UK families who have recently moved can read our Malta relocation guide for the wider picture on settling in, and ask the paediatrician how a child's existing vaccination record fits the local schedule.

Who the practice suits

The practice is aimed at families with babies, toddlers, school-age children and teenagers who want a single doctor to follow their child over time. Parents often use it for a sick child who needs a prompt consultation, for routine check-ups, for vaccinations given on a schedule that suits them, or to obtain the paperwork a new nursery or school requires.

Because she works in several towns and travels to homes, the service suits expatriate families, new arrivals and visitors who would rather not take an unwell child across the island.

Clinics, home visits and prices

Clinic days rotate through four locations, listed in the practical details below. For an urgent appointment, parents are invited to call the clinic where she works that day. Home visits are arranged by sending a message describing the problem, and an evening appointment is usually offered for the same day. Saturday is the home visit day.

Prices are €60 from Monday to Friday, €70 on Saturdays and holidays, and €40 for an online consultation and documents. If you are visiting with children, our guides to flights to Malta from the UK, where to stay in Malta and the Malta weather guide help with planning, while things to do in Malta and about Malta cover days out and general background.
