Rare & Serious Illness Support MaltaConditional travel reimbursement
Inter-island patient travel and accommodation assistance
A Ministry for Gozo scheme supports qualifying inter-island travel for cancer treatment, renal dialysis or surgery at state hospitals. It covers eligible patient and accompanying-adult ferry costs and conditional accommodation support.
- Provider

- Eligibility
- Published categories are cancer treatment, renal dialysis or surgery; both directions between Malta and Gozo are covered for qualifying residents. A routine investigation or rare diagnosis alone is not listed as qualifying.
- Application
- Check eligibility with the scheme team before making arrangements. Apply through the official form or myGozo.
- Documents
- The page requires original documents for processing and proof of IBAN for new suppliers. Ask which appointment confirmations, tickets and receipts are needed.
