Dr. Josie Muscat
EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2025 finalist, Malta
Chairman of Saint James Hospital Group
Dr. Josie Muscat is revolutionizing patient care with cutting-edge technology.
Dr. Josie Muscat’s journey from academia and politics to the forefront of private health care is a testament to his visionary leadership. As the driving force behind Saint James Hospital Group, he has redefined medical care in Malta, integrating cutting-edge technology with operational excellence.
In the early 1970s, Josie started his practice with a modest clinic, gradually acquiring laboratory equipment and establishing a joint venture with Medical Laboratory Service to offer testing services that were unprecedented in Malta at the time. His practice expanded significantly, prompting further growth. In the 1990s, he converted his former residence in Zabbar into a comprehensive clinic where he pioneered the introduction of Malta’s first MRI machines.
By 2007, the limitations of the aging Zabbar clinic had become apparent, leading Saint James Hospital Group to build the Zejtun hospital, a project that spanned 13 years. Here, Josie introduced state-of-the-art MRI machines featuring Artificial intelligence (AI) technology. He has maintained the group’s competitive edge by offering unique services and making significant investments to anticipate future health care needs.
Josie’s commitment to helping others extends beyond medicine. Motivated by personal experiences, he established the Eden Foundation to support individuals with disabilities, fostering inclusion and awareness. The foundation, backed by government support, relocated to larger premises and is rapidly growing to help hundreds of children achieve better independence.
Success is not just about building something big, it’s about making a real difference in people’s lives. The future of health care is not just about technology; it’s about harnessing it to provide better, more individualized care.
