100 new nurses to begin work by next week in government hospitals

Aug 28 2022

Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Chris Fearne took to social media to announce that 100 new nurses will be starting to give their services to government hospitals as of next week.

In the well-received post, Fearne wished the new recruits all the best and welcomed them into the health and medicine sector.

This news follows the recent red flags raised about nurse resignations continuing to pose problems as shortages endangered the lives of patients but also burnt out medical workers.

The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses spoke out several times in regards to this issue, calling on the health authorities to address the issue for the safety of both patients and workers and to make sure that the rights of all are being safeguarded.

More than 120 nurses left their job at Mater Dei in 2021, and the figures for the first three months of 2022 indicated that the exodus could only continue. This new regiment of nurses will surely act as a breath of fresh air for many nurses exclaiming exhaustion, but many are still calling on the government to find a solution to keep nurses from leaving their post and finding better employment elsewhere.
