Charmaine Cini, Charge Nurse at the Gozo General Hospital General Critical Care Unit, has been awarded Worker of the Year, whilst the Tissue Viability team was presented with the Team of the Year award.
This tenth edition of the Worker of the Year Award for GGH employees was held on Thursday, following a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The winners were chosen by an independent committee and were announced during the evening.
The award ceremony is a much-anticipated evening in the hospital’s calendar and is organised by the employees themselves in recognition of the year’s achievements.
The presentations, music, song and prose which were part of the ceremony were all produced by GGH employees.
The event was also an opportunity for all those present to look back and reflect on the past two years, and the difficulties encountered during the pandemic.
GGH Executive Director Joseph Fenech delivered a message of appreciation and gratitude to employees for their dedication to the patients and their loved ones despite the difficulties of these extraordinary times.
He highlighted the fact that although only one employee and one team could be awarded, these would serve as ambassadors of the entire GGH workforce, and that all employees should feel proud of their work.
A film feature was also presented, highlighting the achievements of the hospital in the last two years despite the pandemic. It was explained that “significant investment was made in infrastructure and plant, recruitment and training of staff, medical equipment and new services.”
Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri, who attended the event, reflected on the effectiveness of leadership and how the thoughtful collaboration between different ministries and entities ensured that the health of the people was safeguarded in the best way possible.
Minister Camilleri presented the prizes to the winners.

I would like to congratulate Ms. Charmaine Cini and the Tissue Viability team for being recognised as a worker and team who excelled in their dedication at work especially during the two difficult years we went through.
I was invited as an ex-worker at Gozo General Hospital but although I wanted eagerly to attend I found out that as an effect of Covid I began to suffer from agoraphobia.
I missed two wedding invitations, all summer fiestas, and all Cultural and social events.
I beg pardon to Stewards Healthcare family that I did not attend.
