The Medical Reference Letter is a crucial document in Malta's healthcare ecosystem, serving as a primary means of professional communication between healthcare providers. This document type is essential when referring patients to specialists, requesting second opinions, or ensuring continuity of care when patients transfer between healthcare providers. The letter must comply with Malta's Health Act (Chapter 528), Data Protection Act, and Medical Council guidelines. It typically includes comprehensive patient information, medical history, current clinical findings, and professional recommendations. The document's format and content are designed to meet both legal requirements and professional standards while ensuring efficient communication of critical medical information.
