In an effort to expand the niche market of medical tourism, The Palace & The Victoria Hotel have teamed up with private hospitals, Prestige Cabs and Linda Briggs, one of the largest and most established companies specialising in medical tourism in the UK. 

Linda Briggs Ltd will be bringing over tourists needing medical treatment who will stay at The Palace and the Victoria Hotel for pre-surgery and eventually complete recovery. In certain instances together with patients Linda Briggs will be bringing over leading surgeons from France and other European countries.

Together with its local partners, Linda Briggs Ltd will be promoting Malta as a five-star medical destination, offering a complete service to patients needing surgery. As part of an added service to all customers, Linda Briggs will also be offering a special insurance cover with Lloyds of London that covers travel and some costs related to surgery as well as any emergency treatment needed in Malta during recovery.

Speaking about this unique partnership Lind Briggs said that “we are proud to be associated with The Palace & The Victoria Hotel, private hospitals and Prestige Cabs who are committed to provide excellent service to their customers. For this venture to succeed we needed partners that are committed and who will leave no stone unturned to provide the high level of service that is expected in this sector.”

Speaking about health tourism in Malta, The Palace and Victoria Hotel manager, Kevin Callus said that, “Medical tourism is a global business which is increasing in popularity especially in Southeast Asia, India and Europe. Malta is the latest country to embrace this sector due to its unique selling propositions and The Palace & The Victoria Hotel are proud to be involved from the onset. However,  we need to tread carefully in this sector due to the fact that medical tourism revolves around an individual’s health and wellbeing which will remain of topmost importance in this venture. The success of this venture will depend on the quality of service offered and there is absolutely no leeway for bad experiences.  We are confident that we will be in a position to offer the most comfortable and safest experience to patients given that we have always made quality the hallmark of our success.”
