As a migrant you have the right to be provided with appropriate health education and services to meet your physical and psychological needs according to your legal status. Adapting to a new country and coping with new social, administrative and political structures is not easy. It is understandable that you may have been feeling isolated and not physically fit. However, taking care of your health is one of your main responsibilities and this booklet will guide you to go to the right place at the right time. It is not surprising that due to cultural differences health care professionals such as doctors and nurses may have difficulty in understanding your problem or how you feel it is affecting you. We ask you to be patient and try to build a rapport with your health provider to be able to meet your needs. Being healthy does not only mean having no health problems, but it also means knowing how to look after yourself, avoiding the foods or substances that may harm you and you may also have to change your lifestyle habits. Health programmes in the form of educational sessions are normal in the western world as these prevent problems in the future as you get older. The intention of this booklet is to guide you when you need to use the existing health services. It helps you to distinguish emergency care (as in life threatening situations) from routine or non-urgent visits where you need to attend as a walk-in case or by appointment. 3 The health system in Malta is free if you are admitted to hospital in an emergency or if you need to attend a health centre. However, if you have not been issued with a pink card by the social services you may have to purchase your medicine. You may choose to visit a doctor or a consultant in a private clinic in which case you will pay for the service after the visit. On Your Arrival When you arrived by boat you were seen by a doctor for any injuries you may have suffered on your journey or any other emergency/condition such as heat exhaustion, dehydration, etc in which case you would have been treated at a health centre or sent to hospital. Screening tests for Tuberculosis Following this assessment a chest X-ray is taken in the next few days to check for Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) which is an infectious disease. In the case of women who are pregnant no X-ray is taken as this is harmful for the unborn baby. If the chest X-ray shows any signs of Tuberculosis, you will be referred to a specialist, who will do further tests and treat you as necessary. In order to check for TB in pregnant women and in children a Mantoux test is carried out, which involves a painless injection in the forearm. 4 The area of the injection site is examined by a doctor after 48-72 hours. If the test is positive, this means that you might have been infected with Tuberculosis in the past. You will then be referred to a specialist who may order other blood tests and start you on treatment. In the following days you may have a full physical examination by the doctors in the closed centre. It is important to inform the doctor if you suffer from any chronic illnesses such as diabetes, renal problems, asthma, high blood pressure and also if you are pregnant. Medical services in the closed centre While you are in the closed centres you are entitled to free medical services including treatment. In the case of a medical emergency, inform the soldier/police on duty who will call an ambulance to take you to the emergency department at Mater Dei Hospital. Due to the large number of residents in the closed centres, there may be a triage system whereby the most urgent cases are seen by the doctor before other cases which are not so urgent. Supervised treatment If you are prescribed any treatment which needs to be supervised by a nurse, you will be given a treatment card with your treatment written on it. The nurse will sign the card each time you take the treatment in front of her/him. 5 Health centres in Malta & Gozo In Malta, if you need to see a General Practitioner, you can either go to a Health Centre, which is run by the government and free of charge, or you can visit private General Practitioners, who charge a fee for their services. There is no patient registration system in Malta, so you are free to see any General Practitioner. It is important to note, however, that you can only attend a Health Centre that serves your locality of residence.

This medicine may be for a few days and/or prescription may have to be repeated every 2 or 3 months. Why no medications were prescribed? The doctor will decide on the best treatment for you, which may not involve any medications. Medicine may not be indicated because: many conditions can be cured without medicine, such as colds and other viral infections antibiotics (drugs to cure infection) are only prescribed if absolutely necessary There may be severe interactions between different medicines and have significant side-effects when taken together you may not need medicine! Many conditions can be prevented or cured by a simple change in lifestyle, such as giving up smoking, healthy eating and getting enough exercise. YOU MUST NEVER SHARE YOUR MEDICINES WITH OTHER PEOPLE 9 Referral to Hospital for investigations Your doctor or General Practitioner at the health centre may suggest that you need to be seen by a specialist for further tests or investigations which may be performed either at Mater Dei Hospital or Boffa Hospital. These may involve blood investigations, X-rays, CAT scans, mammogram, barium enemas, etc. Usually you will receive an appointment for such a test from the hospital. Please take time to read the instructions on the appointment form carefully. If you do not understand any part of it, you are advised to ask a health provider at your health centre. Appointments To avoid any disruption of the service you are requested to be on time.

  • First Occurences of Lemna Minuta Kunth (Fam
    The Central Mediterranean Naturalist 5(2): 1-4 Malta, December 2010 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ FIRST OCCURENCES OF LEMNA MINUTA KUNTH (FAM. LEMNACEAE) IN THE MALTESE ISLANDS Stephen MIFSUD1 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The occurrence of Lemna minuta Kunth in the Maltese Islands is reported for the first time, from two sites in Malta and one site in Gozo. Notes on its historical and current distribution in Europe, its invasive properties and its habitat preferences in Malta are given. Also included are the distinguishing morphological features from the closely related Lemna minor L., another frequent alien species of ponds and valleys in the Maltese islands. Keywords: Lemna minuta, valleys, watercourses, alien species, invasive species, flora of Malta INTRODUCTION Lemna minuta Kunth (synonyms: L. minuscula Heter ; L. minima Phil ex Hegelm) commonly known as Least Duckweed, is native to the eastern area of North America, western coasts of Mexico and stretches in temprate zones in Central and South America (Mesterházy et al., 2007). It was introduced into Europe in the last third of the 20th Century where, soon after, it had become naturalised in several European countries. It was first recorded in Europe erroneously as L. valdiviana from Biarritz, South West of France in 1965 and then as L. minuscula from Cambridge, UK in 1977 (Landolt, 1979 cited in Lacey, 2003). Today, 45 years after its first published occurrence, L. minuta is widespread throughout Europe and it is recorded from France, England, Belgium, Germany, (GRIN; GBIF), Switzerland, Ukraine (GRIN), Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden (GBIF), Ireland (Lacey, 2003), Hungary (Mesterházy et al., 2007), Slovakia (Feráková & Onderíková, 1998), Romania (Ciocârlan, 2000), Greece (Landolt, 1986), Austria (Fischer et al., 2005) and Italy (Desfayes, 1993 cited in Iamonico et al., 2010 ; Conti et al., 2005).

  • Perzut Tal-Ghadma
    Tasteissue34December2009Page27 christmas Perzut tal-ghadma CARMELITA CARUANA has lived away from Malta from many years and now teaches cooking in Italy. One of things she misses most about Malta is perżut tal-għadma. Here she sings its praises and devises some recipes with perżut tal-għadma as a key ingredient. Because Carmelita can’t buy perżut tal-għadma in Bologna, MARK CAMILLERI prepared the food for our photographs, to her recipes. ✥ Food photography: Pippa Zammit Cutajar Portrait of Mosta Bacon producers: George Scintilla christmas Tasteissue34December2009Page28 ere perżut tal-għadma an Italian product, its praises would be sung far and wide. It would be hung with medals and protected from inferior imitations made elsewhere by I.G.P and D.O.P designations. And it would be referred to as “Sua Maestà, il Prosciutto Cotto di Malta”. Living in Bologna, Italian Wfood capital and home to superlative raw and cured pork products, I know a top level product when I taste it, and can imagine the praise Italian gourmets would shower on our superb cooked ham. It has never ceased to me amaze me that perżut tal-għadma - sometimes called perżut tal-koxxa but identified by those who make it as perżut tal-għadma, the bone being a crucial element - has such a low profile, going unnoticed and unmentioned. We rightly sing the praises of our bread, capers, gbejniet, zalzett and pastizzi but never a word about our superb ham, perhaps because people erroneously believe it is an imported product.
