Meet the Team
Following the birth of his sixth child Nicole with Down syndrome in 1992, he was instrumental in founding the Eden Foundation with the aim of educating more than 1,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities. Facilitators were introduced into the education system for the first time, and this helped children with a disability to integrate into mainstream schools. Job coaches were introduced and this helped youths with mental disabilities to join the workforce for the first time.
Dr Muscat gave up politics and endeavoured to expand his medical practice by first establishing the Saint James Hospital in Żabbar and then expanded the Group with clinics in Birkirkara, Burmarrad, Mosta, Żebbuġ and the island of Gozo. He also invested in other subsidiary companies also outside the medical field. In 2002 he acquired a state of the art hospital in Sliema, the Saint James Capua Hospital. His ambition to broaden his horizon led him to take the Saint James brand beyond the Maltese shores by opening a hospital in Libya and a dedicated Eye clinic in Hungary.
Dr Josie Muscat is married to Franca and is the father of six (6) children and grandfather of thirteen (13). He is a passionate reader.
In 1990 he joined The Saint James Hospital Group at twenty years of age. As the Company grew from strength to strength, Jean Claude consolidated his position as a key business leader within the organisation and in 2002 he spearheaded negotiations on behalf of the Saint James Hospital Group when the family business took over Malta’s largest private hospital.
Following this takeover, Jean Claude directed the setting up of a new concept aesthetic clinic in Malta, and in 2016 oversaw the setting up of a specialised ophthalmic centre of excellence in Malta.
Jean Claude also headed the first tangible expansion of the Saint James family business overseas, setting up Saint James Hospital facilities in Hungary and Libya.
In 2022 Jean Claude was appointed as CEO of Saint James Hospital Operations.
Jean Claude is married with three children and holds a Masters of Business Administration from Henley Business School (Reading, UK).

Maria’s dream is to introduce Functional Medicine to the Maltese Islands with the hope of helping reduce the incidence of cancer which is affecting the Maltese population and increasing at alarming rates. She strongly believes that she works in the right environment and with the right company as it gives her the opportunity to develop this vision.
