In-patients in more than 800 beds can select from one of three TV packages: Melita Active, Melita Connect or Melita World. The daily charge is €4 (Lm1.72), €7 (Lm3) and €8 (Lm3.43) respectively.

All three packages are inclusive of a 2Mbps Internet connection, Hello telephony services and 60 radio channels. All terminals in the hospital are equipped with features enabling viewers to pause, rewind and replay their favourite programmes at will.
