Nurse’s Union accuse Health Ministry of fake news due to no Mount Carmel refurbishments

Nurse’s Union accuse Health Ministry of fake news due to no Mount Carmel refurbishments

The Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses says are concerned as no refurbishment of more decrepit wards seems to be taking place. The union lamented this since they were allegedly promised a €6 million investment to refurbish the old mental health hospital. With wards closed off seven years ago and more to be closed in the coming weeks, the union accused the health authorities of abandonment and that promises of refurbishment were simply fake news.

The union stated that ‘no investment has materialised at Mount Carmel Hospital except for the re-allocation of chronic patients.’ The MUMN added that staff frequently encounters difficulty finding new beds for admissions, resulting in a lack of dignity for patients.

The news of Ramiro Mallia’s passing shocked all of Malta after the youth sadly passed away due to a leakage in a heater. As many have discovered by now, Ramiro was a cancer survivor at a very young age and has repeatedly supported Puttinu Cares for their help to people suffering with cancer.

A video published to Facebook on 11th September 2019 of Ramiro calling the public to donate to Puttinu is now going viral. In it, Ramiro talks about how distressing the process of discovering a loved one is diagnosed with something as horrible as cancer. In calling for people to help Puttinu Cares who in turn help hundreds of people, the video captures exactly how much of a genuine and caring person Ramiro was. Malta has lost a very thoughtful and compassionate soul indeed. RIP Ramiro.
