The improved social conditions as well as health care developments during the past decades have not only changed this pattern, but have also modified the approach to public health. The future presents us with challenges which we must face through appreciation of the issues involved and the use of appropriate strategies. * 214 Old Bakery Street, Valletta, Malta * * Visiting Professor in Public Health Medicine, University of Malta Medical School, Gwardamangia, Malta Introduction sponsibility of the Magistrus Sanitatis while the Pro­ tomedicus or Physician-in-Chief was appointed.

  • Diabetes: a National Public Health Priority
    Diabetes: A National Public 2016- Health Priority 2020 A National Strategy for Diabetes The aim of this strategy is to implement measures aimed at preventing diabetes, expanding treatment options and improving the integrated management of diabetes so as to prevent or postpone the onset of diabetes-related complications FOREWORD Diabetes is a common chronic condition in the Maltese population. It is for this reason that Government has made diabetes one of its key priorities. Inkomplu ntejbu u nwessgħu s-servizzi li jingħataw lid-dijabetiċi kemm fuq livell ċentrali kif ukoll bħala kura fil-komunita’….. In November 2014 I had the pleasure to launch a consultation document containing a series of proposals that together will help us to address diabetes effectively at a national level. This document was the basis for a public consultation that ran until May 2015. The feedback received was heartening and encouraging. The document was also reviewed by external experts who confirmed that our vision and strategy is on the right track. Our aim remains that of seeking to reduce the impact that diabetes has on individuals, their families and society. The updated document focuses on the initiatives that have been selected for priority action. We acknowledge that it is impossible to do everything at once but we are determined to implement a series of interventions that together will start to make a difference. The aim of this document is to provide a blueprint to keep us firmly focussed on achieving results. We have already started with the process of expansion of the Government formulary for diabetes medicines.

  • Smarthealthsystems International Comparison of Digital Strategies
    #SmartHealthSystems International comparison of digital strategies Health System Comparison Focus Digitalization #SmartHealthSystems International comparison of digital strategies Part I: International Benchmarking and Digital Health Index Part II: Success criteria and utilisation rates of digital applications – Comparative country study Part III: Analysis and Transferability Authors Rainer Thiel, Lucas Deimel, Daniel Schmidtmann, Klaus Piesche, Tobias Hüsing, Jonas Rennoch, Veli Stroetmann, Karl Stroetmann November 2018 #SmartHealthSystems Foreword The so-called Lipobay scandal can be considered a trigger for a political decision: As early as 2003, the German federal government at the time initiated the development of the electronic health card. The card was intended to help improve healthcare and to make it safer – possible drug interactions were to be identified before they can occur. It was hoped that the German healthcare system would then receive a modern IT infra- structure and become an international pioneer in e-health. Today, we have to say that this project has not been successful. At least not for the time being. While in other countries, the most important patient data is stored in electronic health records and prescriptions already have been digitally transmitted for several years, Germany is still working on the basics of digital health networks and is mainly exchanging information on paper. While we are talking about the application of intelligent algorithms on a theoretical level in Germany, these have long been in use in Israel for the early detec- tion of cancer, for example. Not surprisingly, the Digital Health Index developed in the context of this study shows that the German healthcare system is lagging far behind in terms of digitalization: In an inter- national comparison, Germany is ranked 16th out of 17 countries surveyed.

    HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY 2008 – SUMMARY STATISTICS 1 HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY 2008 – SUMMARY STATISTICS European Health Interview Survey 2008 Summary Statistics Department of Health Information and Research Strategy and Sustainability Division Ministry for Social Policy 2 HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY 2008 – SUMMARY STATISTICS Foreword Health is a top priority sector for this Government. This is because we believe that every Maltese citizen has a right to live as healthy a life as possible. When our health is threatened by illness or injury we seek to obtain the necessary healthcare that will assist us to return to a productive and fulfilling life. Over the past decade our efforts were mainly concentrated on improving public hospital services. These efforts have borne fruit and further projects to continue to enhance health and long-term care services are in the pipeline. Malta presently has top ratings in healthy life expectancy in Europe (at around 10 years for both men and women aged 65). This statistic, which is hard to achieve and harder to maintain; is testimony to the investment that has taken place over the past years. However, if we want to truly ensure that our high level of health is maintained and improved, focussing on health services alone is not enough and we need to implement a series of public health strategies that will strive to bring about healthy well-being for the Maltese population now and in the future. Targeting our efforts to reach those in greatest need is essential for our strategies to be both successful and sustainable. We need to know who the population groups at greatest risk for ill health in Malta are.
