Simon Busuttil has been awarded the 2012 MEP of the Year Award for Health.
He received the prize yesterday from European Commissioner Maros Sefcovic in recognition of his work in the European Parliament in favour of people with diabetes.
He is the co-President of the Parliament’s Diabetes Working Group and said the award meant the condition was on the EU agenda.
In their nomination, European health stakeholders called him “a highly active and admired Maltese MEP”.
