Saint James Hospital

Saint James Hospital was established in 2005 in Sliema, one of Malta's most vibrant and accessible coastal towns. As one of Malta's leading private hospitals, the 60-bed facility provides a comprehensive range of medical and surgical specialties in a modern, purpose-built environment, leveraging Malta's unique advantages as an English-speaking EU member state in the heart of the Mediterranean. The hospital features modern operating theaters equipped for minimally invasive and conventional surgery, a diagnostic imaging center with MRI, CT, and digital radiography, a cardiac diagnostics unit with echocardiography and stress testing, comfortable private patient rooms with sea views, and an outpatient clinic with specialist consultation rooms. The facility's compact size ensures personalized care and minimal waiting times. Core specialties include orthopedic surgery with joint replacement, arthroscopy, and sports injury treatment, cosmetic surgery with facial and body aesthetic procedures, general surgery with laparoscopic techniques, cardiac care including diagnostic cardiology, urology, and comprehensive diagnostics with health screening packages. Each department is staffed by specialists trained at leading UK and European medical institutions. Saint James Hospital holds ISO 9001 certification and adheres to UK-influenced clinical governance standards, reflecting Malta's historical healthcare ties to the British medical tradition. The hospital participates in continuing medical education programs and maintains clinical audit processes aligned with European best practices. International patients benefit enormously from Malta's English-speaking environment, eliminating language barriers common in other Mediterranean destinations. Services include patient coordinators for treatment planning, assistance with accommodation in Sliema's waterfront hotels, airport transfers, and transparent all-inclusive pricing. Malta's EU membership, excellent year-round climate, rich cultural heritage, and flight connections to all major European cities make Saint James Hospital a compelling medical tourism destination.
