Mr Sofrito of course became popular on the island for his €9.90 toast, with hundreds flocking to Dingli every week to get a bite out of the culinary sensation.

Adonis recorded the process of getting his tattoo at Quelin Wilson’s studio and shared it to social media. He even filmed a little clip of the tattoo artist shouting out ‘AWAY’ – a signature catchphrase of his.

Chadwick Lakes Road Reopened For The Public

Chadwick Lakes Road Reopened For The Public
Feb 4 2025 Share

A crucial 200-metre road connecting Mtarfa to Mosta through Wied il-Qlejgħa has reopened after a €3 million reconstruction project.

Funded by the Energy and Water Agency in collaboration with Infrastructure Malta, the project was coordinated by the Infrastructure and Environment Ministry.

The original road collapsed in November 2021 due to erosion, delaying repairs. Construction finally began in August 2023, overcoming significant engineering challenges in an area holding up to 35,000 cubic metres of water.

To prevent future collapses, the road has been reinforced with anchoring piles for a stronger foundation, and valley embankments have been strengthened to reduce erosion.

At the inauguration, Environment Minister Miriam Dalli emphasised the importance of protecting Chadwick Lakes while ensuring accessibility for farmers. The new road, designed to withstand heavy traffic, supports vehicles such as water bowsers used for irrigation.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Bonett highlighted the project’s long-term impact, ensuring accessibility for future generations. He acknowledged initial doubts about the project’s feasibility but credited its success to the dedicated team involved.

Malta Among EU Countries With Lowest Preventive Healthcare Expenditure

Feb 4 2025 Share

Alongside Poland at 1.9%, Malta in 2022, preventive healthcare expenditure in the European Union (EU) made up 5.5% of the total healthcare expenditure, which refers to the money spent on programs and services aimed at preventing illnesses rather than treating them after they occur. Preventive measures can include things like vaccination programs, screenings, health education, and measures to promote healthy lifestyles.

Malta, however, had the lowest share of preventive healthcare spending within the EU, at just 1.2%. This suggests that a much smaller proportion of Malta’s overall healthcare budget is allocated to preventive measures, compared to other EU countries. The reasons for this could vary

Lower spending on preventive care in Malta may indicate a more reactive healthcare system compared to others. However, this could also be influenced by factors such as the country’s healthcare structure, the effectiveness of initiatives in areas like access to care, health awareness, and lifestyle management, or even Malta’s smaller size relative to other EU countries.
