On 12 June 2025, a new initiative was launched focusing on supporting active ageing in Malta through the development of a comprehensive legal framework for long-term care for older people. This initiative is being funded by the European Commission’s Technical Support Instrument, with the technical guidance of the WHO Regional Office for Europe.
The aim for the project is to:
- Build a strong evidence base for long term care policy and reform
- Co-develop, through a multi-stakeholder participatory approach, a comprehensive legal framework on LTC for older people in Malta
- Strengthen capacity for monitoring and implementation
This project brings together a collaborative effort between key national and international stakeholders and underlines Malta’s commitment to innovation and investment in healthy and dignified ageing.
