Further to the announcement this morning [1] by Queen Mary University of London regarding the opening of the Barts Medical School in Gozo, Steward Health Care Malta has said that it was awarded the service commencement certificate last Thursday.
Steward, in a statement said that, this then paved the way for Queen Mary University London to welcome students on site for lectures this morning.
Steward added that it was asked to “prioritise the construction” of the Medical school when it stepped into the concession in January 2018. “Works began in May 2018 on this 8100sqm state of the art facility and are now complete, just 17 months in,” it said.
Nadine Delicata, Executive Director of Steward Malta, commenting on this milestone stated that, “this is the first major construction related milestone of our work here in Malta.”
“We now look towards the future, into turning our hospitals into a teaching facilities, to building the new hospital in Gozo and refurbishing the site at Karin Grech, and to truly dedicating ourselves towards improving Malta’s health service offering,” she added.
Steward Malta concluded by saying that, “with the Barts medical school complete, and the master-planning process now at a very advanced stage, Steward looks to the permitting phase and to begin communicating plans around the new and improved hospital sites.”
