Malta Medical Students Association

Festival Area: How the Health

Organisation Description:

The Malta Medical Students’ Association is one of the largest University organisations representing our medical students. We work on different aspects which relate to our health as a whole and we focus on educating both the general public and our students on such matters. Our mission is to enhance the education of future medical professionals through enforcing active participation in their teaching system, organizing international exchanges and implementing training in the various fields of the public health sector. We also aim at empowering the Maltese society, including its marginalized communities, to become functionally involved in decision taking within the National Healthcare System and to reduce health-related social problems through culture and gender sensitive health advocacy.
