The Medical Association of Malta (MAM) has accused the Health Minister of personalizing an industrial dispute, which the association insists is solely about defending doctors’ rights. The MAM has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the interests of its members and has vowed not to be intimidated or “bulldozed” by the Minister’s actions.
This development is the latest in a series of tensions between the MAM and the Health Ministry, which have been ongoing for some time. The association has been seeking better working conditions, improved patient care, and a more constructive dialogue with the government. However, the Health Minister’s approach has been perceived as heavy-handed, leading to accusations of personalizing the dispute.
The MAM’s stance is that doctors’ rights and interests should be respected and protected, and that any attempts to undermine these rights will be met with resistance. The association has called for a more collaborative approach to resolving the dispute, one that prioritizes the well-being of both doctors and patients. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Health Minister will respond to the MAM’s concerns and whether a resolution can be reached that satisfies all parties involved.
