Association For Abandoned Animals Save Anaemic Dog

Mar 14 2025

The Association for Abandoned Animals (AAA) shared on Facebook that they rescued an abandoned and mistreated dog suffering from severe anaemia.

Describing the dog’s condition, AAA stated that he was a heartbreaking example of pain and neglect.

Upon rescue, the first priority was to take him to a vet for immediate medical attention, where blood tests confirmed that he was both anaemic and positive for Leishmania (sandfly disease).

Given his severe malnutrition, further tests will be conducted to assess whether his kidneys are functioning properly.

Despite his fragile state, the dog has managed to eat for two consecutive days, giving rescuers hope for his recovery. AAA remains committed to his care, ensuring he receives the medical support and nourishment needed to regain his strength.

In their post, AAA condemned the neglect that led to his suffering, highlighting the ongoing issue of irresponsible pet ownership.

They expressed frustration at people who take in animals only to abandon them, emphasising the urgent need for greater awareness and accountability.

More than 300 Indigenous Trees Planted in Aħrax

Mar 14 2025

For the past decade, the GħKNK Mellieħa and GħKNK Miżieb sub-committees have been actively engaged in environmental conservation, planting thousands of indigenous trees to restore natural habitats.

This commitment continued last weekend as GħKNK Mellieħa volunteers planted over 300 indigenous trees in Aħrax, alongside the installation of a new irrigation system.

These efforts followed the removal of invasive alien species like Acacia, helping to create a more suitable environment for native flora to flourish.

Several trees were generously provided by Ambjent Malta, whose collaboration has been invaluable in supporting this initiative.

Beyond enhancing biodiversity, this project ensures that Malta’s open spaces remain thriving, healthy ecosystems for future generations.

The newly planted trees will be carefully maintained by our members, reinforcing our long-term dedication to preserving the island’s natural heritage. Through these ongoing efforts, we continue to safeguard and restore Malta’s precious environment.

Ongoing Work on Bormla Mental Health Services Centre

Mar 14 2025

Health and Active Ageing Minister Jo Etienne Abela recently visited the ongoing construction of the Regional Mental Health Services Centre in Bormla.

The project, developed in collaboration with the Ministry for Social and Affordable Housing, aims to enhance mental health care services in the region.

Currently, mental health support in Bormla is limited to three rooms within the local health centre, catering to just 12,000 residents.

The new centre will not only upgrade facilities and services but also extend its reach to approximately 47,000 people, significantly expanding access to care.

The minister emphasised that the centre will provide personalised rehabilitation plans tailored to individual needs, ensuring a more comprehensive and effective approach to mental health support.

Additionally, a dedicated sensory room for adults will be introduced to assist in managing emotions, reducing stress, and promoting overall well-being beyond traditional medication-based treatments.

“This project is a significant milestone in the government’s strategy to improve mental health care. The new regional hub will serve various communities in southern Malta, offering high-quality, patient-centred services in a modern and functional environment while enhancing patient outcomes,” the minister stated.
