Medical school could soon open in Gozo

A medical school could soon be set up within the Gozo hospital. President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca announced that such negotiations are at an ‘advanced stage’.

She said this after a meeting in London with the directors of Bart’s Mecdical School, who will be opening the school, and Health Minister Konrad Mizzi.

“The Maltese Islands are ideal to invest in, both because of their geographical position between continents and because of their cultural awareness,” Coleiro Preca said.

Mizzi said that the new Gozitan medical school will target foreign students.
