Free Cancer Treatment, 3 New Hospitals & Mater Dei Expansion Proposed by Alex Borg

During the Nationalist Party’s first mass rally, PN Leader Alex Borg laid out a series of ambitious healthcare proposals, placing the sector at the centre of the party’s vision ahead of the May 30 general election.

Addressing supporters gathered outside the PN headquarters, Borg announced plans for major investment in healthcare infrastructure. These include a brand new hospital in the north of Malta, another new hospital in Gozo, and the transformation of the Paola hub into a fully-fledged hospital serving both Maltese and Gozitan patients. He also pledged further expansion of Mater Dei Hospital to better meet increasing demand.

Borg said this strengthened network would improve services and reduce waiting times for operations, introducing a more efficient system that places patients at the centre.

He also proposed a centre of excellence focused on both physical and mental health, aimed at prevention rather than just cure, alongside better salaries for healthcare professionals and a fully digitalised patient data system to streamline care.

In a key pledge, Borg stated that all cancer treatment would be free under a Nationalist government, a proposal he said would be implemented immediately. He also shared a personal account of losing his father after a six-year battle with cancer, reinforcing his commitment to improving the system.

Describing the proposals as innovative, Borg said the PN is ready to deliver a stronger and more efficient healthcare system for Malta.
