WeCare Family Health Clinic

WeCare Family Health Clinic is a private clinic in San Ġwann that was built around one idea: the health of a family is best looked after in one place, by doctors who talk to each other. It sits on Sliema Road in Kappara, a convenient spot for residents of San Ġwann, Msida, Sliema and the surrounding towns, and for visitors who need to see a doctor during a stay in Malta.

The clinic gathers a group of doctors and health professionals who work together, so a family doctor can refer a patient to a specialist in the same building. It is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk among the paediatric clinics in Malta and the wider directory of private clinics in Malta.

The clinic's approach to family care

The ethos is a warm, safe environment in which everyone feels cared for, with family values at the centre of the service. The mission is to unite a number of professional doctors and health care providers so that families receive a consistent, high-quality service and good communication between specialties.

That joined-up approach is particularly useful for UK families who have moved to the island. If you are weighing up life here, our relocation guide for Malta explains the practical side of settling in, and a local family doctor is usually one of the first contacts people look for.

Specialties and services

The core of the service is family medicine. The family doctor deals with everyday ailments and routine check-ups and refers patients on to other specialties or to hospital when needed, looking at the physical, psychological and social sides of a person's health.

Alongside this there is a paediatrician for infants, children and adolescents, and obstetrics and gynaecology covering care from pre-conception through pregnancy and after the birth. Other specialties are ENT (ear, nose and throat), urology, general surgery, genito-urinary medicine, physiotherapy, psychiatry and podology. The services page also mentions audiology, cosmetic medicine and dermatology. Systemic family therapy is available for couples, parents and children who want help understanding each other and resolving conflict.

Doctors and therapists named on the site include Mr Ryan Grech for ENT, Mr Neville Spiteri and Mr Christian Camenzuli for obstetrics and gynaecology, Dr Donia Gamoudi for genito-urinary medicine, Dr Andrew Farrugia Wismayer as family doctor and Ms Yana Gatt Hampton as family therapist. This page describes the services offered and gives no medical advice.

Who the clinic is for

The service is aimed at the whole household rather than one age group. A parent can book a child's appointment with the paediatrician, see the family doctor about a routine check-up and ask about physiotherapy or family therapy, all without travelling between different premises.

Expectant mothers, teenagers, adults and older relatives are all covered by the specialties offered, and the family doctor acts as the coordinator who decides when a referral to a specialist or hospital is sensible. Because the doctors share a network, communication between specialties is part of how the clinic works, which many people find reassuring when a problem needs more than one opinion.

Visiting the clinic from the UK

The clinic is open on weekday afternoons and on Saturday mornings, which suits families who spend their mornings at the beach or sightseeing. If you are planning a longer stay, our guides to the best beaches in Malta and things to do in Malta will help you fill the days around appointments, and the Malta weather guide is worth a look before travelling with young children.
