Hospice Malta Support Programme
The project works with Hospice Malta, the country's leading provider of palliative care, to support Malta's transition towards a nationally integrated system of professional hospice services following the opening of St Michael Hospice in 2025.
Drawing on experience from operating a large-scale hospice network in the US, this project involves contributing through advisory support, workforce training, financial modelling, and long-term sustainability planning, alongside philanthropic investment in Malta's expanding hospice infrastructure.
National Impact
This initiative supports Malta's transition towards a modern, sustainable, and nationally integrated palliative care system following the opening of St Michael Hospice in 2025. By combining international operational expertise, workforce training, financial modelling, and long-term sustainability planning, the project strengthens Malta's healthcare and social care infrastructure while helping establish professional hospice care as a core national service.
Aligned with the objectives of Malta Vision 2050, the project supports the development of a more resilient, inclusive, and people-centred healthcare system focused on quality of life, dignity, and long-term wellbeing. It contributes to national priorities surrounding healthcare innovation, ageing populations, workforce development, and social sustainability, while fostering knowledge transfer and international best practices within Malta's healthcare sector.
Through strategic advisory support and long-term planning, the initiative aims to create a scalable and sustainable hospice model capable of supporting future generations and strengthening Malta's broader social and healthcare ecosystem.
