‘The devastation of a hospital is horrific and unjustifiable and we must ensure we continue to shed light on what happened. As the tragedy in the Middle East continues to unfold it is once again the innocent who are forced to pay the price.’

She went on to say that we must ‘remain clear that protecting civilian lives must keep being a priority. We cannot lose sight of the humanitarian consequences. This has always been our core message.’

Oct 18 2023 Share

During a press conference it was announced that a new research on the metabolism of the Maltese population will be carried out. The research entitled ‘Analysis of the metabolic status of the Maltese population: a nested cohort study’, which will be carried out in collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation and the University of Malta, is a follow-up of another study which was carried out between 2014 and 2016 under the name of ‘SAHĦTEK – The University of Malta Health and Wellbeing study’, led by Dr Sarah Cuschieri.

The Parliamentary Secretary for Youth, Research and Innovation Keith Azzopardi Tanti said, “This type of research is important as it gives us results that can improve people’s quality of life. We look forward to have more research of this type that is able to lead us to improving the services we are currently providing Maltese and Gozitan citizens.” 

He concluded by thanking and auguring the researchers who will work on this project with a subject as important as human health.

The Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation Matthew Vella reiterated that the studies carried out should continue to be updated over time and followed up with other studies. “Things change over time and thus we have the duty to follow these studies with follow-up studies that lead to some kind of innovation, leaving a tangible impact in people’s lives,” concluded Matthew Vella.

The two researchers were also present during the conference; Dr Sarah Cuschieri who led the primary study from 2014 and 2016, and Dr Elizabeth Grech who will be leading this research. In their speech they explained that the primary study was carried out to see the current state of health of the citizens in the Maltese islands, particularly in human metabolism. This research, which will be a follow-up study of the primary one, will lead to the knowledge of diseases and their consequences that could have arisen in the same patients that were diagnosed in the first study, while shedding light on the causes that could have led to these diseases, including Covid-19.
