Malta Health Network
The Malta Health Network (MHN) is an umbrella organisation which brings together health related organisations operating in Malta. The MHN was set-up in 2007 with 17 member organisations. In 2024, it represents 41 member organisations.
MHN strives to give patients an informed voice in health-related matters in Malta, in the EU and internationally. The main objectives of MHN are patient empowerment, patient advocacy and training, and also aims at providing an efficient platform where all our members can network and achieve common goals through sharing of resources. MHN is affiliated with various European and International organisations. Over the years we have been involved in various initiatives and partnered in several projects involving patient empowerment, education, and advocacy.
MHN promotes the health-related interests of patients and the wider community by updating itself about international ‘best practices’ and ‘capacity-building’. The MHN achieves this through its regular contacts with local and international health-related Governmental Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, ‘Not-for-Profit’ Organizations and Patient Representative Groups. Since its establishment, MHN has carried out several projects with an aim to improve the Maltese healthcare scenario.
The MHN is independent of the Government of Malta and of any political party or organization.
