Dr Nadine Delicata will be driving Steward Health Care Malta's executive team's mission at Karin Grech Hospital, St Luke’s Hospital, and Gozo General Hospital.

In a statement, Steward said the team will primarily focus on improving hospital operations while working with counterparts within the Steward Health Care network in the US to establish a world-class level of care across hospitals in Malta and Gozo.

“We are confident our team in Malta has the right experience, qualifications, and drive to improve the level of care across our hospitals. Dr Delicata is an established and respected leader, and her extensive industry experience will undoubtedly help us realise our vision during this transformative period across Malta and Gozo,” said Dr Armin Ernst, president of Steward Health Care International.

Dr Delicata graduated as a Doctor of Medicine and Surgery from the University of Malta followed by specialisations in Public Health and Strategic Business Management.

For a number of years, she worked closely with the Director General of Health Care Services within the Ministry for Health, including EU and international exposure, legislation, and financial and strategic planning.

She was also responsible for the successful delivery of the national breast and bowel cancer screening programmes for Malta.

Dr Delicata has been the Chief Executive Officer of the Gozo General Hospital since 2013 and will now serve as the Chief Operating Officer and Interim President of Steward Health Care Malta.

Dr Delicata will be assisted by John Bezzina as Human Resources Director, Micky Singh as Chief Information Officer, Alessandra Pace as Communications Director, Dr Stephen Zammit as CEO of Karin Grech Hospital, and Joseph Fenech who replaces Dr Delicata in the role of CEO at the Gozo General Hospital.

In a surprise announcement during the festive season, the government and Vitals had announced that the concession of the Maltese public hospitals was to be sold to Steward Healthcare. No details were given on the sale.
