Jul 19 2022

The health ministry has just revealed that 105 new doctors have began their jobs within the public health sector after successfully completing their studies in medicine.

However, this is only the first cohort to enter as another group is expected to join in the coming months. This is expected to raise the number of new doctors to 136 starting work in 2022.

The doctors have graduated from the University of Malta but also other universities all across Europe. They will be giving their services at Mater Dei Hospital, Karen Grech Hospital, St Vincent de Paul Hospital and Mount Carmel Hospital.

The new doctors met and were congratulated by Health Minister Chris Fearne. He wished them success in their careers and encouraged them to strive for and maintain the highest levels of service to patients.

However, COVID-19 had other plans and this gave them enough time to build up their skills and morale to take their shot this year. After placing second in Malta’s Got Talent, the crew will be taking two teams (yes, two!) to chase higher goals in Los Angeles, California.

Comprised of team members of all ages, the group has already proven to have what it takes both locally and on an International stage. And this next milestone is the culmination of all such hard work.

Speaking about the upcoming experience and the preparation that went into it, founder and head choreographer Cheryl Lofreda told MaltaDaily that:

It has always been a goal of mine to represent Malta in one of the biggest dance competitions worldwide. This will surely be an experience to remember and cherish, & we look forward to sharing the stage together as a team.

The local group will be going head to head with some of the world’s most formidable dance crews. Coming out on top would make The MVMT World Champions for 2022 – no pressure!

First turtle nest for summer 2022 found in Gozo by WildLife Rescue volunteer

Jul 19 2022

The first turtle nest for this summer has just been found at Ramla l-Hamra in Gozo by a Wildlife Rescue Team Malta volunteer by the name of Serena.

Taking to social media, the ‘eggciting’ news was announced by the rescue team, saying that this comes after weeks of daily night patrols and morning checks.

Coordinators from Nature Trust – FEE Malta as well as ERA officials were all called in to inspect the area and confirm that this is in fact a turtle’s nest. ‘The area will be monitored 24/7 for the coming 2 months’ until the hatchlings start to emerge.

The group also offers people the chance to volunteer and care for, or search for, turtle nests. ‘Patrols on other beaches will still continue as nesting season is not yet over.’

‘Anyone spotting a turtle on a beach, please call us immediately on 9999 9505, do not use flash, do not touch the turtle, and give her at least 5-10m of space.’
