German Maltese Medical Society

Signing of MOU between the Ministry of Energy & Health and Red Cross Hospital

A delegation from Malta visited the Red Cross Hospital (RCH) in Kassel, Germany on the 14th of December to review an ongoing co-operation and to discuss areas in which further co-operation can be carried out. Accompanying his Excellency Mr Albert Friggieri, who in his capacity as Maltese ambassador in Germany had already visited the RCH, there were Dr Chris Fearne, Parliamentary Secretary of the Maltese Ministry of Energy & Health (MEH), Dr Ray Galea, Head of Specialist Medical Education at the University of Malta, and Dr Antoinette Calleja Director of International Relations at the MEH. In addition to the successful Clinical Clerkship Project for Maltese medical students which started in 2013, further expansion in other fields are planned, including specialist exchange in the sphere of medical technical services. Within the framework of this visit an agreement was signed by the MEH of Malta and the RCH with a view to reach these objectives.
