The Ministry of Health said today that it has recruited 116 doctors who have just completed their studies.

Minister Chris Fearne said the ministry was investing heavily in human resources.

He said that two consultants have just started working in the new Children’s Emergency Department at Mater Dei Hospital. This, he said, was the first time that Malta had specialists in emergency care for children.

The ministry has so far this year issued a record 16 calls for the engagement of consultants, and six have been engaged.
