Malta Health Network

The  Malta Health Network (MHN) is an umbrella organisation which brings together  health related organisations. The MHN represents 40 member organisations,  amounting to representation of over 12,000 families. 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  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 Organisations, Non-Governmental  Organisations, ‘Not-for-Profit’ Organisations and Patient Representative  Groups. Since its establishment in 2007, MHN has carried out several projects  with an aim to improve the Maltese healthcare scenario. Over the years they have been involved in various initiatives and partnered in several projects involving patient empowerment, education, and advocacy. Recent projects  include awareness on The societal Impact of Chronic Pain.
