Package for a doctor

2. A monthly allowance of 40 Libyan Dinars  ???

You don't say what kind of specialist you are - if you are Ear, Nose and Throat, perhaps you could help me with a sever case of "biting tongue" I seem to have just developed???

NICE ONE -ME TOO

Actually the package was a combined one for libya / malta where the hospital has its branches.
Surely that needs to be increased.

I am a Chest Physician.
Could you please let me know what would be a decent salary for a specialist doctor in Libya?

You could probably earn a lot more in the UK but it sounds ok for Malta.
Who is paying the taxes ? At that salary level the income tax is 35%.
5000€ - 35% = approx.3500€ .Still sounds ok as many expenses are included.
Don't know how much the 40 Dinars are but that might not be enough if they post you to Libya frequently.

its only 35% marginal rate  - the av rate will be lower. However, there is SS contribs to pay, and you may well me taxed on your benefits.

The OP said cash in hand - I presume that means the salary quoted is thus a net not a gross figure

40 Libyan dinars is around 68 Euros

Spend it wisely

but 5 - 6.000 Euro's a month sounds good and im sure you will save some

They said the posting is for Malta Hospital.

My partner and I together don't earn half that much a month plus we have to pay rent, all our bills, food and have a social life and we manage to save.

It may be that you'd get paid more for your specialist skills elsewhere but I'm pretty sure you'll struggle to waste all your wages every month! Saving should be easy.

dear newzolt what is the procedure of licensing in malta for doctors who are from south asian countries?

With your residence provided (free I am assuming and including your bills), all travel expenses paid....

Unless you plan on living a Hollywood lifestyle you should be able save plenty on that salary.  If not, hey,  its only a year...

Hi Dr.jhasan,

basically you would have to register with the Medical Council of Malta. Upon presentation and acceptance of your medical degrees/diplomas you might also be required to pass a language and/or proficiency test. With a positive result you would receive a temporary licence to practice in a state hospital for 1 year.

This would have to be done by your future employer as it would also involve the application for a work permit for a TCN (third-country national).

Cheers
Ricky

thanks ricky

hello my name is ismail uttra i from pakistan but i will be MD from kyrgyzstan i want practice in malta i need registration i want advise from you i need wich type of registrayion my dear if i special list its better or mediv=cal practiosior and i want to know in malta what scop of laproscopic surgery

Hi ismail,

see post #15 as this applies to you too.

If you are a MD you can apply for a job with one of the hospitals (state or private) in Malta.

If you are accepted ( will depend on your qualifications and experience) your future employer will apply for the registration,work permit and residency.

Are you a specialist in laparoscopic surgury or still training to be one?

Why are you looking at Malta? Many other EU countries like the UK and Germany are urgently looking for doctors.

Cheers
Ricky

These doctors all sound a bit shifty to me.

Same here but adding up extra expenses with a 4 years boy

Hi All

Does anyone know if Malta is actively recruiting middle grade speciality Doctors to A&E?

Does anyone know what the salary would be for this currently?

I'm a UK Doctor fancying a year in Malta (again). I lived there for a year in 2002.

Many thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am British, my primary medical qualifications are obtained from non - EU countries ( North Africa) and I had master in medicine from the UK (academic degree). My question is,  am I entitled to register with medical council in Malta without taking Medical Council Malta Statutory Examinations.

Regards,
Fattuh1

The Health Care Professions Act 2003, Chap 464, Articles 11(1)(c) and 12(1)(c), stipulates that the Medical Council Malta may require a Medical or a Dental Professional whose primary degree is not from Malta or from an EU-Member State 'to sit for and pass a professional and linguistic proficiency test' (Medical Council Malta Statutory Examination) in order to be granted registration in Malta.

Thanks for your reply,
Could you please help me with,
. General information about the exams ( oral or written) and the subjects.
. Any materials or past exams or a forum where I join to share information.

Your assistance is highly appreciated

Fattuh1

No I cannot. Try Google or the site I posted from Google.
