SIP Malta has been the first SIP national platform in Europe which has been established in 2016 on the occasion of the SIP 2017 Symposium held in June 2017during  the Maltese Presidency of the EU council. Due to the lack of data on the needs of pain patients in Malta a research project was initiated with public funding from VOPs. The impressing results of the research project have been presented and discussed with policy makers and other stakeholders in a conference in April 2018.

SIP Malta was initiated in 2016 to build a coalition of national SIP allies and to identify the gaps and needs how to improve pain management in Malta. Representatives from Maltese MEPs and MPs, the Ministry of Health, service providers, healthcare professionals, patient and citizens’ organisations agreed to work together to address the common theme of pain. SIP Malta co-hosted the SIP 2017 Symposium and presented a Maltese consensus paper. This was followed by a research project on the impact of chronic pain in Malta. The results were presented at a conference in 2018, which led to a position paper on chronic pain for further policy work. The next step is to actively contribute to the various consultation initiatives the Maltese government will be issuing, in preparation for the National Health Strategy 2030.
