The Medical Association of Malta has reported that over 95% of its members have complied with the industrial action that was ordered to start today.

The MAM, in a statement said that doctors in Gozo, both at the Gozo General Hospital and Health Centres are following MAM directives, however it stressed that all emergency work is being dealt with.

It said that the only activity going on at Mater Dei, is that which has been exempted from the directives, namely accident and emergency, urgent appointments related to trauma, post op surgery, and obstetrics.

In operating theatres only emergency and cancer related surgery is being carried out.

All doctors at Health Centres are seeing emergency patients and are following MAM directives.

MAM hopes that the government cancels Mass events as soon as possible so that it can suspend directives and call patients for their appointments.
