Raising funds to support the growing need for Palliative Care

Hospice Malta is proud to announce the launch of its annual Telethon taking place on Sunday 6th July 2025 themed ‘Ħajja sal-Aħħar’, a call to preserve life with dignity, compassion and professional care until its natural end. In 2024, Hospice Malta supported almost 1,000 new patients or 3 people every single day. This daily reality shows just how essential and urgent continued public support is.

The 12-hour live broadcast (11 am to 11 pm) will air on Maltese TV stations and streamed live from the recently inaugurated St Michael Hospice in Santa Venera. This national event brings together families, healthcare professionals, artists and the public to support free palliative care services offered across Malta and Gozo.

“Our focus is always to provide the necessary professional care for our patients, enabling them to remain within their own home environment for as long as possible, addressing their needs throughout the journey. The funds raised through this year’s Telethon will go directly towards sustaining and expanding these efforts, including both community services as well as day therapy services,” said Kenneth Delia, CEO of Hospice Malta.

This year’s Telethon will include personal stories, live entertainment, interviews and powerful video messages from patients and relatives who received care and support through Hospice Malta. Their heartfelt words highlight not only the difference Hospice makes in their lives but how its team delivers free, human-centred care at one of the most critical and sensitive stages of life. Time and again, these families describe a deep sense of comfort and dignity, thanks to the professionalism, empathy and presence of Hospice Malta professional staff and volunteers.

“Every year, more people reach out to us for support. The Telethon is a key opportunity for the public and business community to help us continue providing these vital services, free of charge. With your support, we can continue to reach more individuals and families in need,” said Bernadette Bonnici Kind, Chairperson of Hospice Malta. 

Funds raised will go directly towards expanding community-based services, enhancing therapies through the Day Therapy Unit and launching Hospice Malta’s new Inpatient Unit, offering 16 private rooms for short stays in a peaceful, garden-facing setting ensuring dignity, privacy and comfort.

Whether it’s at home or at the new St Michael Hospice facility, Hospice Malta’s team of professionals and volunteers work every day to provide emotional, physical, and spiritual support to patients and their loved ones, always free of charge.
