Fireworks spectacle in Mosta in anticipation of Malta’s biggest feasts

Aug 11 2022

Hundreds took to the streets as the skies above Mosta lit up in a fireworks display between 2045hrs and 2230hrs.

Put up by the Soċjeta Filarmonika Santa Marija Mosta, also known as ‘Tal-Istilla’, the fireworks display captured exactly what Maltese culture is truly capable of when passion and expertise converge.

As the entire island as well as the fireworks group ramps up excitement for the 15th of August Feast of the Assumption, the pyrotechnics last night gave a small taste of the celebrations in store and how they will be incorporating a crucial aspect of island tradition.

The feast is a peak of the summer season of religious feasts, celebrated in 7 towns all across the islands. Despite being celebrated all across Christendom, the Maltese touch of culture makes it even a tourist hotspot to visit.

Emergency room admissions rise higher than usual

Aug 11 2022

Emergency room admissions have risen higher than usual, as Mater Dei has been facing a lot of pressure ever since the closure of the Birkirkara health clinic. This is made worse by the fact that the months of July and August are peak tourism months.

Last Monday there was reportedly an emergency room admission every 2 minutes. A spokesperson for the ministry of health later confirmed that, on average, the emergency room sees 370 patients a day. Last Monday saw 485 patients admitted.

Normally emergency room patients wait around 30 minutes to get their initial triage examination by a nurse. However, on Monday, some patients had to wait well over 2 hours for this initial test. Patients were treated by the urgency of their issue rather than the time they are admitted.

The spokesperson also had this to say; “There were sustained periods where a new patient at the emergency department was registered every two minutes. As per usual protocol, all patients are seen by professionals in order of urgency,”

The fact that July and August are peak tourism months also doesn’t help. Most tourists usually ignore the smaller health clinics found around the island and go directly to Mater Dei given it is the national hospital.
