What is the public pathway to a menopause doctor in Malta?

You see a health-centre GP, who writes a referral to the Gynae Outpatients (GOP) clinic at Mater Dei Hospital. The GOP appointment is booked in person at Mater Dei Main Reception with that GP referral, Monday to Friday between 07:30 and 12:30. It is free or subsidised for residents. The Well Woman Clinics run by Primary Health Care (in Floriana, Qormi, Gzira, Birkirkara and Kirkop) are a useful first primary-care touch-point for screening, but they are not a menopause clinic.

Which private clinics in Malta offer menopause care?

Named private institutions with gynaecology services include Saint James Hospital (Capua, Sliema, which lists menopause management and a Menopause Clinic), St Clare's Medical Services in Ta' Xbiex (a dedicated Menopause Clinic where Prof Mark P. Brincat publicly lists menopause services), DaVinci Health in Birkirkara (which publishes a €150 bundle of consult, pelvic ultrasound and smear), St Thomas Hospital and Veduta Clinic. Menopause is not always named on a clinic's own page, so confirm the service when you book.

The Malta system

How to find a menopause doctor in Malta, the real pathways

Q: Is there a public menopause clinic in Malta?

No. As of 2026 there is no dedicated public menopause clinic at Mater Dei Hospital or at Gozo General Hospital. In the public system, menopause is handled inside general gynaecology when it arises, rather than at a proactive menopause service. The public entry point is a health-centre GP who refers you to Mater Dei's Gynae Outpatients clinic. The absence of a dedicated public clinic is the structural reason many Maltese women use private gynaecology for menopause care.

Q: How do I find a menopause doctor in Gozo?

The realistic public route in Gozo is the Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinical service at Gozo General Hospital in Victoria, reached by GP referral; no dedicated menopause clinic is verified there. Private gynaecology in Gozo is largely a visiting-specialist model, for example clinics attached to Lauretana Pharmacy in Ghajnsielem, so confirm which days the gynaecologist attends when you book.

Start with the fact nobody states plainly: there is no dedicated public menopause clinic in Malta. Not at Mater Dei, not at Gozo General. In the public system, menopause is handled inside general gynaecology, reached through a health-centre GP referral to Mater Dei's Gynae Outpatients clinic, free for residents. If you'd rather go straight to a specialist, several named private clinics offer menopause care, and one Maltese professor publicly lists it as his field. This page maps both doors, Gozo included.

Is there a public menopause clinic in Malta?

No, and this is why the page exists. As of 2026, neither Mater Dei Hospital nor Gozo General Hospital runs a dedicated public menopause clinic. Mater Dei's own Gynae Outpatients listing describes a service for "women who have gynaecological problems" and "expectant ladies", menopause is not named as a sub-service. In practice, public-system menopause care is delivered inside general gynaecology, responsive to a specific complaint rather than proactive.

That absence isn't a small detail. It's the structural reason so many Maltese women who want menopause care end up in the private system. Knowing it upfront saves you from searching for a public clinic that doesn't exist.

What is the public pathway, step by step?

Free for residents, but it runs through primary care first:

Health-centre GP. Your first stop. The GP assesses you and, where warranted, writes a referral to secondary care.
Referral to Mater Dei Gynae Outpatients (GOP), Msida. This is the public secondary-care entry point for gynaecology, menopause included. The appointment is booked in person at Mater Dei Main Reception with your GP referral, Monday to Friday, 07:30-12:30.
Cost: free or subsidised for residents.

A useful first touch-point

The Well Woman Clinics run by Primary Health Care, in Floriana, Qormi, Gżira, Birkirkara and Kirkop (phone 25680239), offer women's-health screening and are free for residents. They are a sensible early stop, but they are a primary-care screening service, not a menopause clinic. Think of them as a place to raise the conversation and get pointed onward, not a specialist menopause service.

What are the private options in Malta?

If you'd rather go straight to a specialist and pay for it, Malta's private sector is where most dedicated menopause care sits. A note on how we name things: we name institutions freely, and we name an individual doctor only where they publicly list menopause services themselves, never as a "best" or a recommendation. Fees below are quoted at booking unless stated.

Provider	Where	Menopause note
St Clare's Medical Services, Menopause Clinic	Ta' Xbiex	A dedicated Menopause Clinic. Prof Mark P. Brincat (FRCOG, PhD; Visiting Professor, UM Obs & Gynae) publicly lists menopause services here, menopause and HRT are his academic field.
Saint James Hospital, Capua	Sliema	Gynaecology department lists menopause management and a Menopause Clinic. Female doctor available.
DaVinci Health	Birkirkara	Rapid-access gynae; menopause not named on its own page, confirm at booking. Publishes a €150 "Female Bronze" bundle = consult + pelvic ultrasound + smear.
St Thomas Hospital	Ħal Qormi	Gynaecology "for all stages of life"; menopause not named on the page. Male and female gynaecologists.
Veduta Clinic	Gżira	Lead consultant on Malta's O&G Specialist Register; menopause not stated on site. A directory listing shows ≈ €50-60.

Some clinics, for example Serenity Holistic (Swieqi) and LifeScan (Naxxar), mention menopause but without an independently corroborated menopause specialist; we list them with caution. As a planning anchor, a standalone private gynae consultation is typically quoted around €50-80. For the full money picture, see what menopause care costs in Malta, and for the prescription side, HRT in Malta.

How do I find a menopause doctor in Gozo?

Gozo is thinner on options, and honesty helps more than a padded list:

Public: the Obstetrics & Gynaecology clinical service at Gozo General Hospital, Victoria, reached by GP referral. It's the realistic public Gozo route for menopause and gynaecology; no dedicated menopause clinic is verified there.
Private: largely a visiting-specialist model, a gynaecologist attends on set days at clinics such as the specialist clinic at Lauretana Pharmacy, Għajnsielem. Confirm which days the gynaecologist attends when you book.
Bloods: a housebound home-draw line covers residents who can't travel, see blood tests in Malta.

What should I check when I book?

This is a checklist of questions to verify, not a script for the appointment itself. Because Maltese clinics quote rather than publish, and because menopause isn't always named on a clinic's page, a two-minute phone call before you commit saves a wasted visit:

Fee. "What is the consultation fee, and does it include anything else?" Fees are quoted at booking; some clinics bundle an ultrasound or smear.
Menopause specifically. "Does this clinic see women for menopause and HRT?" Confirm it, the website may not say.
Female doctor. "Is a female doctor available if I prefer one?" Several clinics offer this on request; some (including Prof Brincat's) do not.
Language. Maltese and English are standard; confirm if you need a specific one.
Referral and records. "Do I need a referral, and should I bring previous results?" Private clinics generally self-refer; bring any recent bloods.

Walk in knowing your stage.

The single thing that makes a menopause appointment productive is arriving with your stage named. The free quiz does that in about 10 minutes, public GP or private specialist, you'll be specific and hard to dismiss.
