## TL;DR

Malta's national cancer registry, which records cancers in the whole population of all ages. It sits within the health department's information and research directorate.

## Summary

The European Network of Cancer Registries' member list names the Malta National Cancer Register, an all-ages, all-sites registry run by the Department of Health Information and Research at 95 Guardamangia Hill, covering a population of 400,000 (2013). The Ministry of Health's pages (health.gov.mt) were blocked to scripts, so OnCo did not read the registry's own reports. The coordinates are an approximate point for Pietà, the locality of Guardamangia Hill.
