Taking to social media, Nationalist MP Adrian Delia thanked Labour Health Minister for his support after he had to undergo an emergency appendicitis surgery.

‘Stepping into a patient’s shoes gives you a completely new perspective’, the PN MP wrote. ‘It’s a powerful reminder of what patients truly experience. Our healthcare professionals work tirelessly, day and night, always by our side—even if we sometimes forget to appreciate their dedication.’

‘Jo Etienne – thank you so much for your personal interest and commitment. Let’s continue working together, Government and Opposition alike, for the good of the patient.’

‘Health transcends politics. We are all citizens of Malta, and when it comes to healthcare, unity and patient always come before first.’

The Aftermath Of The St Julian’s Apartment Block Collapse

Jun 12 2025

Here’s what we know so far:

An apartment block known as Tania Flats collapsed yesterday in Paceville, St Julian’s. Thanks to quick action by architects, authorities, and one alert resident, 32 people were safely evacuated before the collapse occurred.

The Building and Construction Authority (BCA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Authority (OHSA) both confirmed that the site had been inspected and a stop notice was issued on 10 June.

After discussions with architects and with help from the police, residents were removed from the building as a precaution.

Excel Trading Ltd, developers of a nearby site, said their demolition work was completed weeks earlier. Their architect, along with others involved, identified serious issues in the structure of Tania Flats and recommended evacuation.

Excel maintains the collapse was unrelated to their project and says it is fully cooperating with authorities.

The Kamra tal-Periti is investigating the case and praised the architects and public officials whose swift action saved lives. However, it is also looking into whether professional misconduct contributed to the collapse.

Partit Momentum thanked the authorities but said more must be done to stop “cowboy developers” from operating with impunity. Chairperson Arnold Cassola criticised the slow pace of construction reforms and called for immediate legal action.

“This could have ended in a national tragedy,” said Cassola. “Life is precious. We need political courage, not silence bought by campaign donations.”

The Kamra stressed that reforms must include maintenance of older buildings, not just regulation of new developments.
