The UHM has welcomed a decision by the Ministry of Health that all the equipment used for patient’s toe-nail services will now be sterilized and packed individually to safeguard the patients’ wellbeing.

The UĦM and the Association of Podiatrists of Malta had ordered their members not to use equipment that may be at risk of contamination and thus increase in risk of infection.

The UĦM has requested an urgent meeting to discuss a more permanent solution.

The UĦM and APM have agreed to continue the toe-nail services as long as the equipment is deemed to have no risk of infection and cross-contamination.
