The Foundation for Medical Services (FMS), in collaboration with Mater Dei Hospital, announced the commencement of construction on a new Medical Imaging Department—an important part of the wider Mater Dei Hospital Extension Project.

As a result, temporary traffic diversions were implemented within the hospital’s car park.

Construction works were carefully coordinated to ensure that all hospital services, including scheduled appointments, continued without disruption.

However, patients and visitors were advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for parking and access, as minor delays were expected due to the diversions.

The new Imaging Department, spread across two floors, was set to significantly enhance the hospital’s diagnostic capabilities, enabling faster and more efficient access to essential imaging services.

This development formed part of a broader national investment to modernise Malta’s healthcare system, improve patient experiences, and reduce waiting times.

The project built on previous infrastructure upgrades, including the recently inaugurated helipad and a newly opened staff car park. Further works remained ongoing to ensure the hospital was well-equipped to meet future healthcare needs.

To keep staff, patients, and visitors informed, a dedicated WhatsApp channel—“MDH Projects by FMS”—was launched to share real-time updates and important notices: Join here.

The public was encouraged to follow all signage and cooperate with hospital security during this phase of development.
