FAQs

Common questions about digital health services offered by the Government of Malta

You can access your health data through myHealth. Use an internet browser to go to https://myhealth.gov.mt. To log into the system, you need an electronic identity (e-ID) password. The e-ID password is necessary to ensure security and privacy for your personal health data. If you wish to give a doctor access to your data through myHealth, even he/she needs to have an e-ID password. See below for information on how to apply for an e-ID password.

You don’t have to use digital tools if you prefer not to. Your health remains our priority. However, using myHealth gives you quick, secure access to your medical records, test results, and appointment details anytime, without needing to call or visit a clinic. It also helps your health professionals stay connected and informed, so your care is more coordinated.

If you choose not to use digital tools, you can still manage your health through traditional channels. You can nominate a representative in myHealth—such as a family member or carer—who can handle your digital interactions on your behalf. And of course, your linked doctors will also be able to support you.

You can:

  • Ask one or more doctors to be linked with you through the myHealth system, thus allowing them direct electronic access to your personal health data;
  • Access your Case Summaries (inpatient discharge letters) after you have been discharged from Mater Dei Hospital or other Government Hospitals;
  • Access your lab results (Haematology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Toxicology, Histology, Cytology, Microbiology, Virology and Blood Bank results);
  • Access your medical images and medical image reports (reports on X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasound, etc.);
  • Access your electrocardiograms
  • Access your minors’ records based on a specific documented process
  • Access your current Pharmacy of your Choice (POYC) entitlement data;
  • Access data on your clinic appointments at Government hospitals;
  • Set up email notifications about results and SMS reminders for your appointments;
  • Receive notifications about new data;
  • Find health sites (e.g. pharmacies) using the Health Site Finder;
  • Access your myHealth profile to add, change or delete personal details.

For your health data to be made available abroad, you must first give your explicit consent, as follows:

  1. Go to myhealth.gov.mt
  2. Log in using your ID number and e-ID password
  3. Go to Profile and Settings
  4. Click on Crossborder Consent
  5. Read the Patient Information Notice (also available here inEnglishand Maltese)
  6. Set your consent and save it.

If a medical emergency occurs while you’re travelling in another EU country, inform the doctor who is treating you that you have given consent for cross-border eHealth services.  You will need to identify yourself clearly, using your passport, national identity card or driving licence.​
