On Thursday, 29 October, representatives of the Malta Health Network (MHN) met with Hon. Omar Farrugia, Minister for Youth, Wellbeing and the Implementation of the Electoral Programme.
During the constructive meeting, MHN presented its Position Paper, prepared earlier this year, and discussed a number of issues of mutual interest. These included the challenges faced by young people who take on caring responsibilities within their families.
The discussion also highlighted the importance of investing in local research to ensure that emerging needs and challenges are identified, priorities are informed by robust data, and appropriate responses are developed within the local context.
Minister Farrugia expressed his commitment to strengthening the involvement of organisations within the sector in the work of his Ministry.
